...catching the diehards in the house unprepared - the raid was launched at midday rather than at night, when the settlers had expected it would come and when there would be hundreds more braced for confrontation inside the disputed building - the Israeli police and military averted the first threat. The eviction went off relatively smoothly, although eight people were slightly injured, one of them a police officer who had acid thrown in his face by a settler militant. But the extremists delivered on their promise to vent their rage on Palestinian innocents. (See images of West Bank settlers battling eviction...
