Settlers from the five illegal Israeli outposts that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government agreed to legalize last week carried out 27 attacks against neighboring Palestinian villages this year alone, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says.

The outposts slated to be legalized are Evyatar in the northern West Bank, Sde Efraim and Givat Assaf in the central West Bank and Heletz and Adorayim in the southern West Bank. They were all illegally built, largely on private Palestinian land.
