Commenting on the violent evacuation of the Alei Ayin outpost near Shiloh Thursday morning, MK Michael Ben-Ari (National Union) said that “Prime Minister Netanyahu speaks about 'the land of our forefathers,' but actually sends out the violent Yassam police forces to destroy the homes of those who settle this land. Meanwhile, thanks to Netanyahu, the Arab enemy can continue to build uninterrupted,” he said.

Police claim that right wing activists threw a firebomb at a police vehicle Thursday morning in a response to the evacuation of Alei Ayin. Police said that the incident “crosses the line from legitimate protest, and the incident will be dealt with to the full extent of the law.”
