"Israel evicts tent protesters at West Bank E1 settlement
Israeli border police search an outpost of tents as they prepare to evacuate Palestinian protesters from the scene in an area known as E1 Israeli police moved in on the site early on Sunday"
Israeli police have evicted Palestinian and international activists from an area of the West Bank where Israel is planning fresh settlement building.
They had put up around 20 tents in the area called E1, between Jerusalem and the Jewish settlement of Maale Adumim.
Israel's Supreme Court had ruled on Friday that the encampment could remain for six days.
Palestinians fear building in E1 would threaten the viability of a future Palestinian state.
Abir Kopty, spokeswoman for the Popular Struggle Co-ordination Committee, a Palestinian activist group, tweeted that six people had been injured during the eviction and had been taken to hospital.
Israeli police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said there had been no injuries.
The activists had said they wanted to build a village on the site, calling it Bab al-Shams (Gateway to the Sun), after a famous novel about Palestinian history.
'Facts on the ground'
About 200 Palestinian activists and protesters were evicted from the camp by hundreds of Israeli soldiers in the early hours of Sunday.
