Police chief: We knew non-residents were arriving at Amona

Police chief Roni Alschiech says the police were aware of non-residents arriving at the Amona outpost ahead of its ultimately violent evacuation today and yesterday. These people, he says, were not under the authority of any public or educational leadership.

Israel Radio quoted Alscheich as pledging that police would prosecute all lawbreakers, using evidence gathered by officers during the operation to empty the settlement outpost in line with a court order.
