Police say settlers hurl rocks at officers during outpost evacuation, injuring 3

A statement from a police spokesperson says three officers were injured, after being violently attacked by mostly teenage protesters who barricaded themselves inside one of the illegally built homes in a West Bank outpost slated for demolition.

Police encountered “active resistance” from the protesters in Netiv Ha’avot who hurled rocks, bottles and other objects at the forces.

The statement says two officers were treated for head injuries, and another one was lightly injured in the leg.
