West Bank homes of settlers emptied
JERUSALEM — Israeli police on Tuesday evicted Jewish settlers from 15 homes built illegally on private Palestinian land in the West Bank.
Police said some 500 protesters demonstrated against the eviction, with some throwing stones and bottles at police and several dozen barricading themselves in one house. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said six officers were wounded in the scuffles and that police arrested three protesters.
Protesters opposed to the move also blocked the entrance to Jerusalem, snarling traffic.
Rosenfeld said the evacuation of most of the houses proceeded smoothly, with families leaving their homes without resisting.
