Dozens of Israelis blocked several major roads in Samaria this morning (Monday) in an attempt to prevent the evacuation of an illegal Israeli outpost by security forces. The protesters set tires on fire on the roads, leading to heavy traffic jams near the Ariel Junction on Highway 5 and the Yakir Junction. Many police forces were dispatched to the blockage points and reopened them to traffic.
