Dozens of Jewish settlers surrounded an IDF patrol vehicle on Wednesday evening near the Shilo settlement, setting up roadblocks and physically assaulting IDF soldiers.
The incident began after rumors circulated that the Gal Yosef illegal outpost is about to be evacuated. At approximately 9 P.M. the settlers erected roadblocks and blocked the entrance to the outpost with their cars.

Oh, and here's a B'tselem map improved by me:
Here's the Arutz 7 story.
By the way, Gal Yosef is named after Gideon Lichtenstein, killed in a terror attack near the site in 2003* and Yosef Shuker, founder of Shvut Rachel and Achiyah and the olive press of Meshek Achiyah and consists of three containers and buses. It is populated by two young families and a few bachelors.

"Over the past few weeks, settlers have been attacking Palestinian farmers' property in the nearby village of Qusra, almost on a daily basis. On Thursday morning, villagers discovered some 200 olive and fig trees were uprooted or damaged throughout the night.
According to a recent Shin Bet security service report, right-wing extremists no longer appear to need a "trigger" to take action, while the targets of the violence are also widening - military vehicles at an IDF base near Ramallah have been vandalized, and threatening graffiti was sprayed onto the apartment door of a left-wing activist. Attacks on Arabs and their property are carried out when the opportunity arises, the Shin Bet officials add."
but as long as the settlers carry out their mitzvot everything is Kosher, isn't it ?
