Seizing the West Bank: Extremist Settlers In Power (2024)

Since Hamas militants killed around 1,200 people in Israel on 7 October 2023, extremist Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank are increasingly using violence to seize land and property which is forcing many Palestinians from their homes.

“Settlements Above the Law” a new film from the #BBCEye Investigations team, reveals how these settlers are establishing a new type of illegal settlement known as a “herding outpost”, giving them access to huge areas of land. These and other outposts don't have government approval and are illegal under Israeli law. 

We have independently verified the location of 196 outposts established in the occupied West Bank, almost half of them built in the past five years alone. For over six months, the BBC team have been following extremist settlers who have set up herding outposts. 

Some have been sanctioned by the UK and US governments for forcing Palestinians from their homes as part of a “campaign of violence and intimidation”. We show the human impact of their actions on the Palestinian communities living on the frontline of their outposts.
