Scuffles break out at West Bank Bedouin village slated for demolition
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleScuffles break out as Israeli authorities pave an access road to enable the demolition of a Bedouin village in the West Bank.
Residents of Khan al-Ahmar and protesters try to block the construction equipment from advancing, with a number of people climbing onto a bulldozer.
Police say a riot broke out near the site and that the rocks were thrown at officers. There were no injuries or damage and two people were arrested, police say.
The village last night was declared a closed military zone and residents were ordered to evacuate.
In May, the Supreme Court approved the demolition of the village. Israel says the structures at the site were built illegally.
