Israel completed the evacuation of the two West Bank settlements of Sanur and Homesh Tuesday, putting an end to the whole pullout process, police said.

According to national police spokesman Avi Zelba, Sanur and Homesh are clear of settlers.

More than 15,000 soldiers and police officers participated in the operation to clear Sanur and Homesh, the last two settlements evacuated under Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's disengagement plan.

Tuesday afternoon, Israeli soldiers and police officers removed the last of some 30 teenage girls who had holed up in a settler's house.

The girls, who attacked police officers, were evacuated in handcuffs. Witnesses said as many as nine women soldiers were needed to subdue and evacuate one of the girls.

The evacuation started in northern West Bank after the troops completed the historic pullout of Jews from all the 21 settlements in the Gaza Strip on Monday.

Sharon expects to evacuate all the 21 settlements in the Gaza Strip and four smaller ones in northern West Bank.

The Palestinian side welcomes the Israeli move, while urging the Jewish state to quit all the occupied Palestinian lands.
