Clashes between settlers and Palestinians in West Bank outposts.

Israeli settlers and Palestinians clashed near a new illegal outpost established by Israel in the northern West Bank. The new outpost consists of a makeshift yeshiva that was illegally transferred overnight Sunday from privately owned Palestinian land on an adjacent hilltop. The transfer was required in order to pave the way for the government to legalize Homesh amid longstanding pressure from the settler lobby. Several clashes between settlers and Palestinians have taken place in the days that followed.
