Israel Dismantles 2 Outpost in West Bank

TEL AVIV, July 29, 2009 (WAFA)- The Israeli Police dismantled the West Bank outpost of Mitzpe and Avihai near the city of Hebron Tuesday night, the Israeli daily Haaretz said.

 

The outpost had consisted for several months of just one tin shack, inhabited by several single males, but it was expanded Tuesday to include another tin shack on an adjacent hilltop to accommodate two families.

 

Two hundred people, including the chief rabbi of Kiryat Arba colony, Rabbi Dov Lior, attended a ceremony on Tuesday to mark the move, Haaretz said.

 

The evacuation came after the far-right Youth for Israel Movement established 11 new Outposts in the West Bank on Sunday and Monday.
