Right Wing Activists Attempted To Block Entrance to Jerusalem – But Were Stopped by Police
After having blocked several intersections in Judea and Samaria, right-wing activists attempted to block the entrance to Jerusalem. Large security forces evacuated the protesters and arrested eight of them. The road was reopened to traffic
A mere few hours after Defense minister Ehud Barak had announced that government decisions will be enforced by special patrol units, right-wing activists attempted to block the entrance to Jerusalem. Police dispersed the protesters and eight of them were arrested. Traffic on the road resumed.
The attempt to block the entrance to Jerusalem came after right-wing activists had blocked several intersections in Judea and Samaria in response to the government's decision to freeze construction in the settlements.
Security forces in Maaleh Levonah reported that local residents were throwing stones at them, and in Revavah the locals blocked the entrance to the settlement so that the patrol units could not enter. One settler tore a construction freeze order to pieces in the face of an inspector.
According to the settlers, Yasam patrol units behaved brutally against the settlers, including women, children and public figures. The settlers claim that they are not being violent, but are merely preventing the patrol units from entering their settlements.
