Four lawmakers from the ruling Likud party visit the site of a former Jewish settlement in the West Bank, Sa-Nur, in violation of a law that bans Israelis from entering the area since the 2005 pullout, the Walla news site reports.

The lawmakers are Miki Zohar, Keti Shitrit, Amit Halevi, and Etty Atia, who came in a show of solidarity with former residents of the settlement.

Some 20 Israeli families surreptitiously entered the evacuated settlement of Sa-Nur in the northern West Bank under the cover of darkness early Tuesday, in protest of the government’s refusal to allow them to return permanently to their homes evacuated 15 years ago.
