An IDF soldier has been wounded after a group of some 50 settlers hurled stones and glass bottles at troops, following the evacuation of an illegal West Bank outpost.

The Tzur Harel outpost, close to Givat Asaf, east of Ramallah, was evacuated by authorities this morning for the second time in a day, prompting a riot by the settlers.

The soldier was hit in the head by a glass bottle and taken to Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem for treatment, according to a military source.
