Heavy police presence at Amona protest
Police say there is heavy security at the Amona protest in Jerusalem with some 150 officers on duty.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says that there are about 2,000 people at the protest against the planned evacuation of the illegal outpost.
here are no immediate reports of violence as many left the protest amid the rain.
“This is our home, you have to fight for your home,” says one protester, Matti Barnea, who was wearing a shirt that said “I’m a settler from Givataim.”
Barnea said the Supreme court, which ordered the evacuation by December 25, was “The biggest criminal.”
