"Another violent clash erupted in the West Bank city of Hebron Wednesday, as Central Control Unit officers cleared dozens of right-wing activist who had reentered the Shapira House, which had previously been evicted under a court order. Twenty youths were taken in for questioning.

Later settlers entered another previously-evacuated house in the city, and security personnel were attempting to clear them from there as well.

According to the settlers, the three-storey Shapira House was purchased by the Jewish settlement in Hebron. Following a High Court ruling, the structure was evacuated and sealed on May 7, 2006.

Extreme right-wing activist Itamar Ben-Gvir told Ynet "those who decided to evict the disputed house will be sorry."

Internal Security Minister Avi Dichter referred to the riots in Hebron and said, "Unfortunately adults shamelessly made sure to send out youths and even children to clash with police and soldiers."

He added, "The fact that children are allowed to be used as a barrier before police and soldiers should outrage us all."
