Last update - 16:21 30/04/2008 Police, IDF troops demolish illegal outpost in West Bank By Nadav Shragai, Haaretz Correspondent Tags: IDF, Israel, Outpost  Police and Israel Defense Forces troops on Wednesday demolished an illegal outpost near the northern West Bank settlement of Kochav Hashachar. At the site, Maoz Esther, security forces dismantled a synagogue which had been constructed there without permit. It was built in memory of Yonadav Chaim Hirschfeld, who was killed in the terror attack at the Mercaz Harav Yeshiva in Jerusalem in March. Advertisement The synagogue, which was not a permanent structure, was dedicated during the intermediate days of the Passover holiday. On Tuesday, police and the Civil Administration demolished a swimming pool which had been built without permit at a home in the Havat Yair outpost, near the northern West Bank settlement of Nofim. Head of the Samaria Regional Council Gershon Mesika lambasted the demolition. "It is a shame and a disgrace that on the eve of Independence Day, what interests this government is the sending of dozens of police officers and engineering vehicles in order to demolish a swimming pool the size of a tub, in which children swim in, while thousands of illegal Arab homes stand undisturbed opposite," Masika said.
