Israel demolishes illegal settlement in occupied West Bank

Israeli security forces demolished an illegal settler outpost in the occupied West Bank on Monday following "severe incidents of violence".

A large force was deployed to the Tzour Misgavi outpost - constructed in the West Bank without Israeli permission - in the Gush Etzion area, south of Jerusalem.

Heavy machinery could be seen preparing to demolish the structures, with one clip showing a bulldozer knocking into the side of a building with people stood on top.

Israeli media said 25 families were evacuated from the site.
