Nahala settlers to be removed from unauthorized outpost near Gaza border

The outpost was established in mid-October on land managed by KKL-JNF, between Kibbutz Kfar Aza and Nahal Oz.

The Jewish National Fund (KKL-JNF) and police are preparing to evacuate an unauthorized outpost established by Nahala settlers near the Gaza border in Simhoni Forest. The outpost, which was established in mid-October, was built on land managed by KKL-JNF between Kibbutz Kfar Aza and Nahal Oz. The evacuation is expected to take place next week, with police hoping to reach an agreement with the settlers for voluntary departure.

However, police are prepared to use force if necessary. The settlers claim they will not stop until they reach Gaza, describing the site as a temporary stop on the way to establishing a Jewish settlement inside Gaza. KKL-JNF is responsible for managing the forest and removing the structures, with the evacuation required to take place within 30 days of the initial trespass.

The Nahala movement, founded by Daniella Weiss, has been labeled by the European Union as an extremist Israeli settler movement responsible for serious and systematic human rights abuses against Palestinians in the West Bank.
