Thursday’s demolition was the second in the past month at Geulat Zion. Earlier this month the IDF leveled four illegal buildings in Geulat Zion as rioters threw rocks at the soldiers. There were no injuries but one of the security forces’ vehicles was damaged.

There were no arrests in that incident.

The Geulat Zion outpost is one of several illegal settlements near the Palestinian of village of Duma, where terrorists, apparently Jewish, firebombed two homes last month, killing a toddler and his father, and seriously injuring two other members of his family.
