Three settlers from the the northern West Bank enclave of Yizhar were arrested Wednesday on suspicion of having attacked police when security forces evacuated the illegal Mitzpeh Yizhar outpost some two weeks ago.
Two of those arrested are alleged to have thrown sharp objects at the vehicles of the police who came to take them into custody on Wednesday.
A total of 1,000 police and troops scuffled with some 2,000 protesters during the evacuation operation at the outpost. The illegal enclave consisted of one structure, which served as a synagogue. A number of police and demonstrators were injured in the clashes.
At the time, 40 of the protesters were detained for questioning, suspected of having assaulted security forces and disturbing the peace.
The Wednesday arrests bring to eight the number of settlers in custody on suspicion of having attacked police during the evacuation.
