<p>The justification of the move is that any citizen living in a &#8220;danger  zone&#8221; must receive preference from ther state in request of security  measures.</p>
<p>The entire West Bank, along with a number of towns and  communities along the Green Line, falls under the blanket of the term  &#8220;danger zone.&#8221; These are clearly marked as towns and settlements that  either border Palestinian villages and towns.</p>
<p>Israeli Media  reports that security officials have stated that, &#8220;when a citizen lives  in an endangered region, the treatment of the request cannot be the same  as the case of other citizens,&#8221; and that, &#8220;this is unlike the situation  in the past, when requests were handled according to the order in which  they came, and no preference was given.&#8221;</p>
<p>The shift in policy is to be implemented immediately.</p>
