A group of Israeli settlers have squatted at the site of Sa-Nur, an illegal West Bank settlement that was evacuated in 2005, in an attempt to resettle the area. “This settlement has been empty for 15 years, and it’s against Israeli law for them to be here,” Tawfeeq Alawneh, the mayor of the nearby Palestinian village of Jaba’, told Mondoweiss. “But at the end of the day we know that the soldiers and the government will always protect and help the settlers.”
