The Civil Administration for Judea and Samaria carried out enforcement activities on Monday against illegal quarrying in the Nahal Arugot nature-reserve area of Judea, between Hevron and the Dead Sea. The Civil Administration's inspection unit seized two pieces of equipment used for the quarrying and took it to the confiscation site at Etzion.
During the enforcement operation, four Palestinian Authority residents were arrested for throwing stones at the inspectors and blocking the access road to the site.
