STORYLINE
Amid ongoing rallies in the Palestinian village protesting the newly-established settler outpost of Eviatar (background) on a nearby hill. - Israeli settlers were leaving the wildcat outpost in adherence to an agreement struck with nationalist premier Naftali Bennett's new government.
The hilltop area where they have established a settlement lies near Nablus in the northern West Bank, Palestinian territory occupied by Israel since 1967. Under the terms of the deal, those temporary homes will remain, and the Israeli army will establish a presence in the area.
Palestinians usually hold protests against colonial Israeli settlements and other discriminatory policies following the weekly Friday prayer every week, when most Palestinians are on their weekend.
