IDF and Border Police forces arrived on the outskirts of the village of Qusra early this morning, apparently to evacuate the outpost that has been besieging two homes in the village, a Qusra resident who lives near the besieged homes tells The Times of Israel.
Footage circulated online shows IDF jeeps and a bulldozer intended to demolish structures erected by the settlers.

According to the resident, the forces evacuated the settlers who had established an outpost opposite the homes and demolished all the makeshift structures they had erected in the area.
The settlers who had been positioned outside the homes moved up the hill to an older outpost that was established several months ago and, according to the resident, has not been evacuated so far.
The resident also says that IDF forces arrived at the home of the Tubasi family in the nearby village of Jalud, which settlers took over three weeks ago, apparently in order to evacuate the settlers from the property.
