Israeli Military Dismantles Palestinian Encampment in West Bank 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
Israeli forces have dismantled another Palestinian encampment
challenging settlement growth in the occupied West Bank. Palestinian
activists erected tents near the town of Hebron on Saturday in a bid to
protect their land. But Israeli forces quickly moved in, forcibly
confronting the activists and arresting six people. The encampment,
dubbed "Canaan village," was the fourth in the West Bank to be shut down
by Israeli troops in the past month.
