Police say around 3,000 officers in Amona, 600 protesters

Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says there are around 3,000 officers in and around Amona to move the 42 families, “and hopefully people will evacuate the area peacefully and quietly.”

He estimates that another 600 people who were not from the outpost had arrived for the eviction.

“We’re hoping that things will go relatively calmly and quietly. We’re ready to respond if necessary to any violence,” he says.
