Israel completes evacuation of West Bank enclave

The last family of an Israeli enclave in the West Bank, which must be vacated for the July 1, left Monday night home after initially refusing, which was completed three-day eviction without major incidents present.

Although some young people of a movement in favor of settlements barricaded themselves inside one of the homes to protest the operation, police officials said that so far there has been no confrontation with them.

"There are some young people in one building and the police are monitoring the area in case there are any complications, but so far nothing has happened," the spokesman told Xinhua on the Israel Police, Mickey Rosenfeld, without giving more details on whether the police will force young people to leave.

The last family, said Rosenfeld, left peacefully at night, though initially opposed to being evicted and refused to allow government employees pack their belongings in boxes.

The Ulpana neighborhood built outside the settlement Beit El near Ramallah, West Bank, will be relocated to another area for the July 1, after the Supreme Court determined that the five buildings were illegal because they were built on Palestinian land private.

Despite government attempts to postpone the demolition of the neighborhood, the Supreme Court refused appeals to delay the demolition, but approved the transfer of buildings rather than demolish them.

The 33 families who lived in the enclave were placed in modular homes in the Beit El settlement until the conclusion of the transfer of their homes.
