The Israeli military on Tuesday ordered 15 Palestinian detainees expelled from the West Bank and said they would be moved to the Gaza Strip, a decision unprecedented in its scope.
The military issued such expulsion orders only once before, when it forced three relatives of Palestinian terror suspects to move from the West Bank to Gaza last year in hopes of deterring future attacks on Israelis.
Israel's Supreme Court later approved the practice, which has been denounced by human rights lawyers as a violation of international law.
