(IsraelNN.com) Approximately twenty thousand policemen and soldiers are stationed around Kfar Maimon in order to block the civilian anti-disengagement protest march. This is an unprecedented number of joint forces against civilians in Israel. In most of the police stations in the southern district, there are few policemen now since they have all been sent to Kfar Maimon.
New forces are on the way to replace those there now in order to allow them to rest before continuing their struggle with the marchers. Spokesmen from the Yesha Council including the head of the council, Bentzy Lieberman, insist that the march is to be nonviolent with no clashes with the police.
However, some Border Policemen have revealed that they were instructed to use their clubs freely."
