Tayasir residents mentioned Israeli forces dismantled the outpost the subsequent day, however that it was erected once more by settlers in one other location within the village.
The rebuilt outpost – which is against the law below Israeli and worldwide legislation – has but to be dismantled by Israeli authorities.
