Israelis being disarmed: "The Israel Defense Forces has begun collecting weapons from the armories of West Bank settlements -- even personal weapons the army provided to settlers for self-defense, said Mate Binyamin regional council deputy head Moti Yogev. ... A source from Central Command said the decision to collect the arms was made because several break-ins occurred at armories over the past few years. 'Several dozen weapons were stolen, and therefore it was decided to remove the armories from the settlements and transfer them to the regional brigade camps in Judea and Samaria, where we will keep them, maintain them and, during escalations, distribute them to the residents.'"
