Illegal West Bank outpost of Sde Yonatan evacuated and demolished, 10 activists detained
The illegal outpost of Sde Yonatan in the West Bank was evacuated and demolished by Border Police and Civil Administration forces, the second such demolition of an illegal outpost in the territory in less than 48 hours.
A rudimentary residential building and a goat pen were destroyed by the Civil Administration forces during the operation, reports say.
Settler activists state that the Border Police officers were violent when evacuating the residents of the outpost, punching and kicking the residents and throwing them to the ground. Three people were injured during the incident, the activists say.
A Magen David Adom ambulance was called to the area but was prevented from reaching the outpost, the activists allege. Paramedics from United Hatzalah also arrived at the scene to treat one person who was lightly injured during the incident and needed stitches on his hand.
Activists say that the area was declared a closed military zone before the evacuation began and phones belonging to the residents and activists at the site were confiscated.
Ten people were detained at the site during the enforcement operation, three of whom were taken to the local police station. The other seven were released after the demolition had been completed.
The outpost, close to the settlement of Michmash northeast of Jerusalem, was built on private Palestinian land, the Civil Administration says.
It has been built and demolished several times in the last two years and was most recently reestablished shortly after the beginning of the current war with Hamas.
The Border Police declined to comment on the incident.

Whatever President Biden is doing behind closed doors is working .
He is 100% correct that the only solution is a two state solution .
Ive been saying that since I joined here years ago .
You are supposed to be a Democratic forum .....have some faith in your elected leader he knows what he is
doing .
Bibi and Trump are one and the same ........neither of them give a damn about us or the Palestinians or the hostages
its all about ego and power and money .
= new reply since forum marked as read
I haven't been posting much mostly reading and I have gained respect for your defense of my country
but not all Palestinians are Hamas Sir .....far from it .
Just as not all Israelis are some of the things I have read recently
it is not "quite beside the point "
It is the point .
See : Unmatched Surge in Settlement Activity in the West Bank Since the Onset of the Gaza War
Peace Now: “The three months of war in Gaza are being exploited by settlers to establish facts on the ground and effectively take control of extensive areas in Area C. Settlers decide where to build roads and outposts continuously, disregarding the legal status of the land. They persist in constructing outposts on private Palestinian lands, defining open areas, and restricting Palestinian movement in the West Bank. The permissive military and political environment allow the reckless construction and land seizure almost unchecked, with minimal adherence to the law. The result is not only physical harm to Palestinians and their lands but also a significant political shift in the West Bank. The unchecked rampage of the settlers must be stopped now.”

President Biden knows exactly what the point is .......I can only hope that his support for us will not cause him to loose to Trump because if Bibi manages to survive this , which I seriously doubt, and Trump replaces Biden then God help us all .
