SANUR/HOMESH: Israeli forces smashed their way into two West Bank settlements on Tuesday and dragged away ultra-rightist Jews dug in for a last stand against evacuation after failing to foil a pullout from occupied Gaza. Police stormed a citadel and synagogues in the Sanur and Homesh enclaves that had been fortified by radicals, drawing a hail of bottles, light bulbs, paint, ketchup, eggs and cooking oil. Some were plucked from a synagogue roof in the scoop of one of the bulldozers that had rammed through barriers of burning tyres and rubbish at the gates to Sanur and neighbouring Homesh. |
