1. Protesters clash with forces attempting to dismantle outpost
http://www.haaretzdaily.com/hasen/spages/428459.html

<snip>

"Protesters were clashing with security forces attempting to dismantle the illegal West Bank outpost of Mitzpeh Yitzhar on Monday. Some 300 protesters were at the site to prevent the evacuation of the outpost."

<snip>

"Settlers had dug trenches on access roads to the Mitzpeh Yitzhar outpost in order to prevent Israeli military vehicles from reaching the outpost to dismantle it.
A number of vehicles were stuck in the trenches for several hours.

Bus loads of additional protesters, led by Rabbi Shlomo Avinar, who heads the Ateret Cohanim yeshiva and is the rabbi of Beit El A in the West Bank , were also attempting to make their way to the outpost.

Many settlers from surrounding settlements were making their way to the outpost to show their solidarity. Buses were also bringing in more protesters from the Gush Katif bloc of settlements in Gaza, Netanya, Jerusalem and Ramat Gan.
Samaria Police told Israel Radio that protesters had set surrounding fields alight and had blocked off all access routes to the outpost."
