Clashes break out between police, far-right activists near West Bank outpost

Clashes break out between police and far-right activists close to the Kumi Ori outpost in the northern West Bank, a day after two illegally built structures were demolished there.

Police say dozens of people rioted near the Kumi Ori outpost and that two tires on a Border Police vehicle were punctured.

“The forces are determined to enforce the military order that declares the outpost a closed military area,” police say in a statement.

“Determined and uncompromising enforcement will be taken against whoever tries to harm soldiers,” the statement adds.
