Sa-Nur
Sa-Nur (Template:Langx) was an Israeli settlement in the northern West Bank, just north of the Palestinian towns of Silat ad-Dhahr and Fandaqumiya, under the administrative jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council until 2005.[1] Prior to its demolition, Sa-Nur was home to 43 families.[2]
Unilateral disengagement
In September 2005 its 105 residents were evicted and Israel Defense Forces soldiers began dismantling Sanur as part of Israeli disengagement from Gaza.[3] The demolition of Sa-Nur and Homesh marked the end of the central part of the disengagement plan.[4] The only remaining structure, a synagogue, was buried.[5]
Attempts to rebuild
Since the demolition, religious Zionist groups have attempted to return to Sa-Nur, in order to rebuild the community. On 8 May 2008, following a permitted Independence Day rally in Homesh, a group of 150 set off at night for Sa-Nur, including many former residents.[2]
On 30 July 2015, marking the 10 year anniversary after the evacuation, 250 people, made up of 20 former families, attempted to resettle in Sa-Nur, before being forcibly evicted by the Israel Defense Forces.[6][7]
In late July 2018, 200 Jewish settlers, supported by Bayit Yehudi MKs Shuli Mualem and Bezalel Smotrich, revisited the area as part of a plan to challenge the Disengagement Plan which led to the settlement's dismantlement.[8]
In May 2025, the government's Security Cabinet approved the building of 22 Israeli settlements in the West Bank, including the dismantled communities of Homesh and Sa-Nur.[9]
