The users also stressed that they adhere to resistance, stating that it is the only thing that deters occupiers.
"Givat Eviatar" has been subject to numerous controversies, and the area surrounding it witnessed copious amounts of demonstrations and night confusion activities, throughout the past two months, carried out by Palestinians with the aim of deterring the occupiers and disrupting the settlement process. The occupation authorities decided to evacuate the settlement outpost Friday under the pretext of "looking into the legal status of the land."
The Israeli media stated that the evacuation came "as a result of the settlement agreement," noting that "the Palestinians threw stones at the Israeli forces near the settlement outpost."
And Israeli media admitted, "The Palestinians distressed the settlers by burning tires, sounding horns, and using laser pointers."
The Israeli "i24news" justified the evacuation of the outpost as "a commitment to the agreement concluded with the government of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett."
It quoted one of the settlers as saying: "I hope we will come back here very soon... We can build a big house," before leaving.
