1. Israel completes forcible evacuation of disputed Hebron house

"Israeli security forces stormed a disputed house in the West Bank city of Hebron on Thursday, dragging out some 250 settlers who barricaded themselves inside and hurled rocks, eggs and chemicals at their evictors.

The Zaka rescue service said 20 people on both sides were hurt. The operation came about three weeks after the High Court had ordered the state to evacuate the building immediately.

A police officer was moderately hurt when settlers threw acid at his face. One of the settlers sustained serious head wounds, and he was whisked into an ambulance on a stretcher.

It was the first major West Bank evacuation since a violent 2006 confrontation at the outpost of Amona. Settlers attempted to go back into the four-story structure, but soldiers formed a human chain around the house to keep them from doing so.

Israel Defense Forces spokeswoman Maj. Avital Leibovitz said the evacuation of the house, one of the most volatile flashpoints in the West Bank, was completed in about 20 minutes."

After security forces clear disputed Hebron house, right-wing activists damage Palestinian property in West Bank. Residents of village of Bourin report dozens of settlers hurled stones at them

<snip>

"Shortly after the swift evacuation of the disputed house in the city of Hebron, clashes moved to other areas in the West Bank. Riots have already been registered near Qalqilya, Hebron and Ramallah.

Sources in the settler public announced the launching of a "price tag" policy that will be implemented through stone throwing and attacks on Palestinian houses.

Senior IDF officials stressed they would act to prevent any such provocations. Meanwhile, Brigadier-General Noam Tibon, commander of the Judea and Samaria Division, has also signed an injunction declaring the Judea region a closed military zone.

The first riots were recorded in the Yitzhar area. Palestinian sources reported that dozens of settlers assaulted residents of the village of Bourin and damaged their property."
