Through popular struggle, Palestinians succeeded in dismantling nine out of thirteen illegal settler outposts constructed in the West Bank since the beginning of the year despite the crescendo of violence and de facto and looming de jure annexation measures held by Israeli apartheid regime on the ground. In Beita, al-Sawyya, Khallet Hassan, Beit Dajan, Deir Sharaf, Aseera Ashamaliyya, Halhoul, Turmusaya and Aseera al-Qiblya Palestinians’ demonstrations and popular actions continued for months until the settler outposts built in these towns were removed. Through these victories Palestinians assert that no imposed facts on the ground by Israeli apartheid would deter them from reclaiming and decolonizing their stolen land.
