(Courtesy) The small illegal West Bank outpost of Sde Yonatan was evacuated and demolished Tuesday morning by Border Police and Civil Administration forces, the second such demolition of an illegal outpost in the territory in less than 48 hours.
Sde Yonatan, which lies close to the settlement of Michmash northeast of Jerusalem, has been built and demolished several times in the last two years and was most recently reestablished shortly after the beginning of the current war with Hamas.
According to the Civil Administration, the outpost is built on private Palestinian land.
At least 22 Border Police officers and Civil Administration personnel arrived at the outpost in the early hours of Tuesday morning and presented the residents of the site, comprising a handful of young settler activists, with an IDF order declaring the area a closed military zone.
Phones belonging to the residents and activists were confiscated to prevent them from documenting the demolition operation, the activists alleged.
Two rudimentary residential buildings and a goat pen were demolished by the Civil Administration.
According to settler activists, the Border Police acted violently when evacuating the residents of the outpost, punching and kicking them, and threw some of them to the ground.
The activists reported that three people were injured by the police during the incident, but that a Magen David Adom ambulance and a United Hatzalah paramedic were held up by Border Police forces for some 40 minutes before being allowed access, a claim that The Times of Israel verified.

“According to the Civil Administration, the outpost is built on private Palestinian land.”
There are some people who just don’t believe in property rights.
So who built the “illegal outpost,” Jews or Arabs?
“”ambulance and a paramedic were held up by Border Police forces for some 40 minutes””
Probably to check and make sure the ambulance was not a car bomb, or full of suicide bombers, or some other surprise from “the religion of peace.”
The outposts have Hebrew names, so obviously they were Jewish outposts.
Thank you for your reply. I am not Jewish nor do I know buch about Jewish names. My name is Daniel, which is biblical, several Jewish friends have names like Michael, Zachary and Stewart so there is not a lot to cue my knowledge.
Regarding the settlements, were my neighbor trying to kill me, I wuld not hesitate to build fortifications and outposts on his ground.
