Settler leader detained after clashing with police during outpost evacuation
Prominent settler leader and extreme right-wing activist Daniela Weiss was detained Thursday for attacking police officers near the settlement of Kedumim, of which she is local council head. Weiss' clash with the police came following Thursday's evacuation of the illegal West Bank outpost of Shvut Ami by a combined force of police and the Israel Defense Forces. Witnesses say there was no one in the outpost as the forces vacated it, but that right-wing activists came to the area shortly after and confronted the police. During the clashes, the activists set a Palestinian-owned olive grove on fire in a nearby Arab village. Posted by: Fred 2008-10-03 |
