Security forces arrived at the Maoz Esther and Geulat Zion outposts, near the West Bank settlement of Shiloh, to demolish the structures. Settlers burned tires and threw stones at soldiers at the Maoz Esther outpost, Walla news reported.
There were no injuries reported.

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.
Responsibly covering this tumultuous time
As The Times of Israel’s political correspondent, I spend my days in the Knesset trenches, speaking with politicians and advisers to understand their plans, goals and motivations.
I'm proud of our coverage of this government's plans to overhaul the judiciary, including the political and social discontent that underpins the proposed changes and the intense public backlash against the shakeup.
