This morning, however, the security forces forcibly evacuated them and destroyed - for possibly the sixth time in recent days - the structure under construction.
In addition, two outposts near Maon south of Hevron were uprooted over night; one policeman was injured, and seven protestor-residents were arrested. It was learned that the uprooting soldiers had not learned or employed the special regulations drawn up by the Attorney-General for the uprooting of outposts. The army commander apologized for the mishap, but the residents say they do not accept his explanations. A court has imposed a three-day stay on the destruction of an outpost near Yitzhar in central Shomron.
