After criticism of soldiers praying at the site: evacuation of the outpost in Qusra gets underway

IDF and Border Police forces began evacuating an illegal outpost set up by right-wing activists near the homes of Palestinian families in Qusra this morning. Clashes broke out at the site after the area was declared a closed military zone. The evacuation follows harsh criticism of soldiers seen praying with the right-wing activists at the outpost.

IDF and Border Police forces have been operating since the morning hours to evacuate tents set up by right-wing activists near the homes of Palestinian families in Qusra. Clashes broke out at the site after the Central Command declared the area a closed military zone. The evacuation comes amid harsh criticism of soldiers seen in videos praying with the right-wing activists at the illegal outpost. The IDF said they view the soldiers' actions with severity and acted to locate them. According to the Palestinians and civil rights activists, last Sunday the residents of the "Tel Talpiot" outpost established a new branch in the form of a sukkah near the homes of two families, imposed a siege on the homes, blocked access roads, damaged electrical cables, harmed the connection to solar panels, and vandalized water pipes.
