>>Settlers Injured in Scuffle at Outpost<< . . . . Hundreds of Israeli soldiers and police sent to dismantle the West Bank settlement outpost of Mitzpeh Yitzhar got into bloody fistfights with settlers Thursday after about 200 people from nearby settlements converged on the hilltop. They blocked the road with cars, burning tires and sharp objects. They then grappled with soldiers and police who began ripping down the tents. The hundreds of paratroopers and police on the hilltop were armed only with the knives they carried to remove the settlers' tents. About 30 people were hurt on both sides, none of them seriously, and Israel Radio said 15 people were arrested. The year-old outpost, with four tents and two buildings, had about 10 residents, and was founded by a 22-year-old. Israel dismantled 10 uninhabited outposts last week. Authorities also used sledgehammers to demolish one building. The settlers immediately began working in the foundations of two tents that had been torn down. "This is our land, our home," said Yosi Peli, a settler from the nearby Yitzhar settlement. "Tomorrow we will be here again on this hill or on other hills." . . . . washingtonpost.com
