History

Historical Context

The 1967 Six-Day War saw Israel capture the West Bank, Gaza, Sinai and the Golan Heights, displacing roughly 280,000 Palestinians and about 100,000 Syrians. Settlement expansion thereafter has produced many outposts, drawing international criticism. The Jalud clash, where settlers burned homes and defied a High Court order, mirrors these long-standing tensions.
