Border police working with Israel Police and agents of the Civil Administration confiscated two trucks on suspicion of violating a ‘closed military zone’ order by the Maoz Esther outpost, which is viewed as being illegal by the government.

Police on Wednesday confiscated the two trucks and arrested five suspects for using violence against police.

Earlier in the day, security forces arrived at the outpost after learning of the presence of the trucks, which authorities feel were part of illegal ongoing construction in the outpost, which is located in the Binyamin Regional Council near Kochav HaShachar.
