At least 43 illegal outposts established throughout West Bank in year since Oct. 7 onslaught

At least 43 illegal outposts have been established by Israeli settlers throughout the West Bank in the year since Hamas’s October 7 onslaught, according to a new report from the Peace Now settlement watchdog.

“Most of the outposts are agricultural ‘farms’ focused on land takeover and the systematic expulsion of Palestinians from the area,” Peace Now says.

From 1996 until early 2023, fewer than seven outposts were established per year on average.
