Civil Administration inspectors, accompanied by policemen from the special Yassam unit, arrived in the Samarian communities of Har Bracha and Elon Moreh on Wednesday to enforce the government edict to halt all local Jewish construction.
Resistance activists attempted to block the inspectors from entering and clashes erupted between the Yassam forces and local residents. Two activists were arrested and building equipment was confiscated by the authorities.
One Elon Moreh resident told Israel National News that about a hundred people came out from the town to protest the inspectors and that Yassam police behaved with excessive violence towards the demonstration, even injuring elderly residents in what was a frightening display of police brutality.
