Today Israeli soldiers attempted their first major West Bank evacuation since 2006. How’d that go? 250 settlers barricaded themselves inside the house they were trying to vacate, hurling rocks, eggs, and chemicals at the soldiers. Later, dozens of masked settlers surrounded the home of a Palestinian family in Hebron, throwing stones and setting its laundry on fire. The IDF had to declare the whole of Hebron a closed military zone, as to prevent the entry of more settlers, and used stun grenades and tear gas to combat the settlers. One police officer was wounded after settlers threw acid in his face. Later in the day, there were reports of Palestinians firing guns at the settlers.
