Jewish settlers protested at an illegal outpost in the West Bank to oppose army plans to dismantle mobile homes there. According to witnesses, protesters beat up journalists and stoned their cars Wednesday, damaging camera equipment. At midday, Moshe Zar, who founded Havat Gilad, called on the protesters to leave peacefully, saying his family had decided to leave the outpost.
