Police say they have completed the evacuation of the illegal “Maale Shai” outpost in the West Bank.

They say Border Police officers forcibly evacuated settlers who refused to leave and barricaded themselves at the site. They say one person was arrested after returning to the site several times and attacking officers.

An officer was lightly injured in a violent clash with several rioters, officials say. Following the evacuation, seven illegal buildings at the site were demolished.
