Two people have also been arrested, police said.

According to the police, they moved against the two homes on orders from the Jerusalem District Court that the structures must be evacuated.

The police said that upon their arrival at the outpost, they were met with “severe violence” from dozens of rioters who threw stones, burned tires and used barbed wire to keep the officers away from the site.  

In advance of the arrival of the security forces, the activists had crowded into two of the structures.

The activists at the scene reported that police, who arrived in riot gear, were acting violently against them and posted a photograph of an activist that was wounded near his eye.

The activist reported that there were scores of activists who were injured.

Dozens of protesters have gathered in two of the remaining structures, including many suspects, and security forces have begun evacuating them.

The modular homes were placed at the site after settlers claimed to have purchased some four hectares (about 10 acres) of property from their Palestinian owners. Both Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan and Binyamin Regional Council head Israel Ganz had called on Netanyahu to immediately recognize the hilltop as a new settlement.

The National Union said that Netanyahu had begun his campaign by uprooting Jews from their homes.

The prime minister could have solved the bureaucratic problem with “one hand" and strengthen the settlements. Instead, he preferred to remain steadfast to his tradition of dismantling them, the party added.

It is noted that the illegal West Bank Bedouin village of Khan al-Ahmar is still standing and has not been dismantled. 

Netanyahu’s “finger is light on the trigger” when it comes to taking down homes in Judea and Samaria, but  “we did not see this kind of recklessness in Khan al-Ahmar, which is still standing,” the party said.

“Prime Minister Netanyahu, we are sick of promises and talk,” the party said. “We want action, not words. This is not how you strengthen the settlements and deter terror,” it added.

The National Union warned that the voters “would not forget” Amona when “they go to the ballot box.”

MK Bezalel Smotrich added that no amount of success Netanyahu achieved in Brazil can make up for his actions in Amona.

“He is weak against the Arabs, but strong against the Jews," Smotrich said.

Thursday morning’s actions marked the third time that an evacuation has occurred at the site of the Amona outpost. In 2006, security forces demolished nine permanent homes that had been built at the outpost, but the modular homes remained intact. In 2017, security forces razed the entire community.
