The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]

History

Israel confiscated 470 dunams of land from the nearby Palestinian village of Ramin in order to construct Einav (and the accompanying bypass roads and military positions),[3] in addition to confiscating 20 dunams from Kafr al-Labad.[4]

Established in 1981 with the assistance of the Amana settlement organization, by 2019 it had a population of 891. The name of the village comes to remember the vineyards that used to be a feature of the surrounding areas and from the nearby Palestinian town of Anabta.^{[citation needed]}
