Police have completed evacuating hundreds of Homesh activists and are destroying the initial stage of a new synagogue that was erected on the site that was destroyed two years ago. They also confiscated cameras, preventing proof of police violence.

One young activist named Moriah told Voice of Israel government radio that Border Police dragged her with excessive force although she did not resist. "We came here to prevent rocket attacks on Netanya," she said explaining that the IDF has reported of an increasing amount of weapons of Arab terrorists in Samaria.
