The leftist Attorney General opened a criminal investigation against the anonymous Jews who wrote a letter to Shamni, the IDF commander in Judea and Samaria. Shamni is infamous for his extreme cruelty toward the settlers, including outpost demolitions and eviction raids.
Somewhat childishly, the letter promised death to Shamni’s family, but went on to predict his eviction after the authors take power in the state.
Halacha leaves no doubt that Shamni indeed must be executed, like anyone else who abandons any piece of land which Jews control. Sanhedrin is unnecessary for the judgment: during emergencies, community rabbis are entitled to pronounce death sentences on those who endanger the Jewish masses. No such honest rabbi had arisen yet.
Arguably, the actions of Shamni & Co. fall even under milhemet mitzva, the obligatory war commandment: regardless of the Sanhedrin, kings, or rabbis every Jew has an individual obligation to go to war when the enemy wants to take away any land that we hold.
