Protesters against outpost demolition blocking entrance to Jerusalem

Police say several dozen people gathered at the entrance to Jerusalem to protest the court-ordered demolition of the illegally built homes in the West Bank outpost of Netiv Ha’avot.

Protesters are burning tires, and are blocking traffic in several directions.

A police statement says officers are at the scene to disperse the demonstration and restore traffic to normal.

Drivers are leaving or entering Jerusalem are urged to use alternate routes.
