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


History


The settlement was established in February 1980 by a mixed group of Orthodox and non-religious Israelis from the Beitar and Herut movements.[3] It is closely bordered by Karnei Shomron.

According to ARIJ, Israel confiscated land from several Palestinian villages in order to construct Ma'ale Shomron, including 268 dunums of land from Azzun,[4] 69 dunams from Deir Istiya,[5] and 367 dunums of land from Kafr Thulth / Arab Al Khouleh (including land for Karnei Shomron and Emmanuel).[6]
