Security forces begin to clear illegal West Bank outpost; rioters burn tires

Security forces have begun to evacuate the illegal Tzur Harel outpost in the West Bank, Hebrew-language media reports.

According to Army Radio, dozens of officers are involved in the operation to clear the outpost which was built on land privately owned by Palestinians.

Reports say that rioters set fire to tires and tried to prevent the security forces from reaching the outpost.

The illegal Oz Zion outpost was first built in 2005 and has been torn down by the Israeli military and rebuilt multiple times.
