Dozens of people who had spent Shabbat at Homesh were escorted off the grounds of the area about a half hour after the end of the holy day. That makes three – clearly unsuccessful - attempts by soldiers and police to clear the area of Jews within a 36 hour period. Many of those set to be evicted yet again managed to run into the hills to hide out – after which they will likely return to the Homesh site. “We are more stubborn than them, and those who were forced to leave have promised to return,” a spokesman for Homesh First said.
Israeli security Forces attempted to remove the current residents of the hilltop right before Shabbat, but only managed to evict seven – who had been planning to leave anyway and appreciated the ride back to Kedumim, residents said. Earlier Friday, a family, including three small children, were arrested in Homesh and removed.
