Pan along buildings to bulldozers demolishing building STORYLINE: Thousands of troops in riot gear and on horseback clashed with hundreds of stone-throwing Jewish settlers holed up behind barbed wire and on rooftops in the illegal West Bank settlement outpost of Amona, on Wednesday, after the Supreme Court cleared the way for the demolition of nine homes at the site. Dozens of people were evicted with injuries. Both settlers and policeman were among the wounded, with police saying 31 of their officers had been hurt. About an hour into the confrontation at Amona, troops had reached the first home and began tearing down window shutters with crowbars. Troops then climbed up a ladder to reach rioters barricaded on a rooftop, with settlers pushing the troops back with sticks and hurling eggs and sand at them. Other troops stormed the roof, riding on the shovel of a bulldozer, and began forcing the settlers into the shovel and bringing them down. In all, some 5,000 demonstrators, including 1,800 extremists holed up in the nine buildings, were being forcibly removed, and police said at least 40 people had been arrested. Thick black smoke from burning tyres rose into the air. A field clinic was set up to treat the wounded, and people milled about with their heads wrapped in bandages and wearing T-shirts splattered with blood. Later, a bulldozer started tearing down the first of the nine structures earmarked for demolition. By noon, three of the structures had been demolished.
