Police forces are evacuating the brand new “Givat Netanel” illegal settlement outpost, according to the Nachala organization which established it.
A spokesperson for the group, which tried to set up seven new outposts on Wednesday, says the evacuation of the hundreds of activists at the site began in the last hour and is being conducted very slowly.
At the same time more activists are making their way to the outpost.
A spokesperson for the West Bank police district says such operations are complex and need to be conducted “wisely and patiently.”
The Nachala activists are likely to move on to new sites after being evacuated from Givat Netanel. This is one of the tactics relayed by Nachala operatives to the activists during the course of Wednesday.
