The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) on Tuesday morning started to remove a settlement outpost recently established by Israeli settlers in Beita town south of Nablus city.
Eyewitnesses told the PIC reporter that a large number of IOF soldiers stormed Jabal Sbeih in Beita town accompanied by Israeli bulldozers to remove the caravans erected by the settlers in the area.
They added that a group of Israeli settlers rallied in the area to protest the removal of the outpost and attacked Palestinian vehicles passing on a nearby road.
Israeli settlers in recent weeks have set up a number of caravans in preparation for the establishment of a new settlement outpost named Avitar on privately-owned Palestinian lands belonging to the villages of Beita Qabalan and Yatma.
