There was violence during the night when authorities arrived at the Givat Gal outpost near Kiryat Arba to raze a number of structures. Kiryat Arab Mayor Malachi Levinger was slightly injured and two people were taken into custody.

Area residents accuse police of using unjustifiable brutality during the operation, citing a number of people were injured as a result of police violence.

Honenu attorney Avi Kedar has been brought in to represent those persons taken into custody.
