Military says soldiers were assaulted, one injured by settlers at illegal outpost Homesh

The military says it encountered violence at Homesh today from settlers who assaulted troops and broke through barriers to try and build new structures at the illegal West Bank outpost.

“IDF, Border Police and police forces tried to block the arrival of the settlers and these employed physical and verbal violence, vandalized military property and blocked security forces,” the army says.

It says one soldier was lightly injured after being hit by a car driven by settlers.

The military says it condemns such violence against forces carrying out their duties.
