"Sa-Nur, Homesh Block IDF Evacuation Roadwork"
"The IDF backed off from a confrontation Wednesday afternoon with about 100 northern Samaria residents who stopped construction of a road the IDF plans to use to evacuate residents."
""No one was injured or arrested in the incident, and both sides avoided a replay of last week's violence in Gush Katif when about 1,000 policemen forced residents of a refurbished hotel to leave Gush Katif. Israel's Mabat television show Wednesday night for the first time extensively reported allegations that government agents purposefully incited the violence in order to turn the public tide against the growing anti-evacuation movement."
"They also are conducting a campaign to present evidence of police brutality and incitement by government agents. Citing last week's report that anti-evacuation activists spread nails and oil on highways, leaders pointed out that there were no reports of tire blowouts or accidents. They also said it was strange that there were no witnesses and that all the media received news of the incident."
Anita Tucker, long-time resident of Gush Katif, reported violence by police who stopped the car which her son was driving. "They saw several kids inside with long ear locks, put on brass knuckles and smashed one of the windows."
Other residents reported that police grabbed and choked girls who were waiting in Gush Katif for rides to a wedding."
