Israel has issued an order allowing its forces and others from the occupied West Bank if the military deems them to be residing there illegally.

Israel's military published the order on its Web site Sunday, drawing condemnations from 10 Israeli rights groups who warned the measure could enable the expulsion of tens of thousands of Palestinians.

The Israeli military denies planning any mass deportation of Palestinians from the West Bank. It says the new deportation guidelines that take effect Tuesday are designed to ensure proper oversight of the deportation process by military judicial authorities.

Palestinian officials in the West Bank denounced the Israeli measure, saying it violates basic rights by making it a crime for people without Israeli permits to live in their West Bank homes.
