The Israel Defense Forces evacuated some 50 activists who barricaded themselves inside a West Bank trailer "outpost" near the security barrier Thursday.
The activists' trailer had been set up near the village of Bil'in, the Jerusalem Post said.
According to police, a group of illegally built houses, containing 750 apartments was located at the site and were scheduled for demolition. Palestinians and Israelis, belonging to a left-wing group called Anarchists Against the Fence brought in the trailer in an attempt to prevent the demolition.
Activists told Haaretz the IDF force numbered some 150 troops, breaking into the caravan with sledge hammers and chains. The trailer was later lifted in the air by a crane to prevent people from returning.
Several were detained for questioning. The activists inside the trailer included 30 Palestinians and 20 Israelis, authorities said.
