These and other outposts don&#8217;t have government approval and are illegal under Israeli law. <\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u201ccampaign of violence and intimidation\u201d. We show the human impact of their actions on the Palestinian communities living on the frontline of their outposts.<\/p>\n<p>Link to letter from Eden Levi\u2019s lawyer: https:\/\/bbc.in\/3Xk0q8b<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udf9e\ufe0f To watch more investigative journalism from our award-winning BBC Eye team check out this documentary playlist: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLz_B0PFGIn4fADt3h_U2SOWErIq-xtXPD<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfa5 Watch this film in ARABIC here: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=w5wPSQo7LdM<\/p>\n<p>00:00 Settlements above the law<br \/>\n01:25 Forced to leave home<br \/>\n04:57 Moshe Sharvit: The settler<br \/>\n06:06 West Bank settlements &#8211; a history<br \/>\n07:55 Qarawat Bani Hassan<br \/>\n12:17 Settlements vs outposts<br \/>\n17:07 The violence behind herding settlements<br \/>\n18:34 Hiking to intimidate?<br \/>\n20:41 Expansion of outposts<br \/>\n22:18 The shooting<br \/>\n29:11 IDF\u2019s failure to stop outpost violence<br \/>\n36:54 The role of the Palestinian Authority<br \/>\n39:44 Moshe Sharvit\u2019s farm<br \/>\n41:55 High-level support for herding outposts<br \/>\n49:41 Eyes on the Gaza Strip<br \/>\n51:55 British sanctions on settlers<br \/>\n52:55 Waiting for justice<br \/>\n54:20 Confronting Moshe Sharvit<br \/>\n55:06 Ayesha and Nabil attempt to get their home back<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nThis is the official BBC World Service YouTube channel.<br \/>\nIf you like what we do, you can also find us here:<br \/>\nInstagram \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffd https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/bbcworldservice<br \/>\nTwitter \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffd https:\/\/twitter.com\/bbcworldservice<br \/>\nFacebook \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffd https:\/\/facebook.com\/bbcworldservice<br \/>\nBBC World Service website \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffd https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/worldserviceradio<\/p>\n<p>Thanks for watching and subscribing.<br \/>\n#Israel #Gaza #Palestine #WestBank #Settlers #Documentary #WorldService<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fxLDYkX7l9A\">source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
