Yisrael outpost, near the Palestinian town of Salfit, to demolish it. Givat Ora Yisrael has been evacuated by Israeli authorities in the past. The IDF says the forces this morning "conducted a renewed enforcement operation against several illegal structures built under a closed military zone… where Israeli civilians have repeatedly engaged in violent and illegal activities." Israeli rioters from the illegal outpost "set tires on fire and placed roadblocks on main roads in the area in an attempt to prevent forces from the enforcement operation," according to the military. "As a result, roads and main routes remained blocked throughout the morning, disrupting the daily lives of residents of the area and causing roadblocks and traffic congestion across all roads in the area," the military says, adding that the forces "cleared the roadblocks to restore order in the area." The IDF says that during the evacuation of the outpost, dozens of settlers "engaged in physical and verbal violence against security forces, despite the forces' efforts to avoid physical confrontation." The troops detained a total of 18 suspects "for assaulting and obstructing security personnel," as well as seized several vehicles belonging to the rioters, the army says. They were handed over to the police for questioning. "Incendiary materials, weapons used for assault, and pepper spray were found in one of the vehicles," the IDF adds. Over 200 illegal settlement outposts have been established in the West Bank during the four-year term of the outgoing government, many of which have reportedly been set up with the coordination of settlement municipal authorities, the IDF, and other state agencies. A small percentage of outposts are set up without such coordination, and it is these outposts that are often the target of enforcement by the Civil Administration, a quasi-military agency within the Defense Ministry controlled by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, the architect of the government's massive expansion of the settlement enterprise.

Israelische Sicherheitskräfte haben heute früher am Tag 18 Siedler festgenommen, die während der Räumung eines illegalen Außenpostens im Westjordanland randaliert und Truppen angegriffen hatten, teilte das Militär mit. Heute Morgen trafen Dutzende Beamte der Grenzpolizei und Soldaten der Zivilverwaltung am Außenposten Givat Ora Yisrael nahe der palästinensischen Stadt Salfit ein, um ihn abzureißen. Givat Ora Yisrael war bereits in der Vergangenheit von israelischen Behörden geräumt worden. Die IDF erklärte, die Einsatzkräfte hätten heute Morgen „eine erneute Durchsetzungsoperation gegen mehrere illegale Bauwerke durchgeführt, die innerhalb einer geschlossenen Militärzone errichtet wurden … in der israelische Zivilisten wiederholt gewaltsame und illegale Aktivitäten ausgeübt haben“. Israelische Randalierer aus dem illegalen Außenposten „setzten Reifen in Brand und errichteten Straßensperren auf den Hauptverkehrsstraßen in der Gegend, um die Einsatzkräfte an der Durchführung der Maßnahme zu hindern“, teilte das Militär mit. „Infolgedessen blieben Straßen und Hauptverkehrswege den gesamten Vormittag über blockiert, wodurch das tägliche Leben der Bewohner der Gegend beeinträchtigt wurde und es auf allen Straßen in der Umgebung zu Straßensperren und Verkehrsstaus kam“, erklärte das Militär und fügte hinzu, die Einsatzkräfte hätten „die Straßensperren beseitigt, um die Ordnung in der Gegend wiederherzustellen“. Die IDF erklärte, dass sich während der Räumung des Außenpostens Dutzende Siedler „trotz der Bemühungen der Einsatzkräfte, eine körperliche Konfrontation zu vermeiden, körperlicher und verbaler Gewalt gegen die Sicherheitskräfte bedienten“. Die Truppen nahmen insgesamt 18 Verdächtige „wegen des Angriffs auf und der Behinderung von Sicherheitskräften“ fest und beschlagnahmten zudem mehrere den Randalierern gehörende Fahrzeuge, teilte das Militär mit. Sie wurden zur Befragung der Polizei übergeben. „In einem der Fahrzeuge wurden Brandmittel, zum Angriff eingesetzte Waffen und Pfefferspray gefunden“, ergänzte die IDF. Während der vierjährigen Amtszeit der scheidenden Regierung wurden im Westjordanland mehr als 200 illegale Siedlungsaußenposten errichtet. Berichten zufolge wurden viele davon in Abstimmung mit den kommunalen Siedlungsbehörden, der IDF und anderen staatlichen Stellen eingerichtet. Ein kleiner Prozentsatz der Außenposten wird ohne eine solche Abstimmung errichtet. Diese Außenposten sind häufig Ziel von Maßnahmen der Zivilverwaltung, einer quasi-militärischen Behörde im Verteidigungsministerium, die von Finanzminister Bezalel Smotrich kontrolliert wird – dem Architekten der massiven Ausweitung des Siedlungsprojekts der Regierung.
