Israeli media reports said at least 6 settlers were also hurt. The evacuation was carried out after the Jerusalem District Court on Wednesday denied the settlers' petition against eviction.
In 2017, 300 Jewish settlers in Amona were removed by police after the Supreme Court ruled it had been built illegally and without the Israeli government’s authorization.
