The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]

History

Israel confiscated 470 dunams of land from the nearby Palestinian village of Ramin in order to construct Einav (and the accompanying bypass roads and military positions).[3]

Established in 1981 with the assistance of the Amana settlement organization, by 2018 it had a population of 859. The name of the village comes to remember the vineyards that used to be a feature of the surrounding areas and from the nearby Palestinian town of Anabta.

gollark: Oh, it's one of those federated whatevers.
gollark: They can't enforce that decentralizedly.
gollark: It's bad on flash because you destroy it rapidly. Phones use flash storage. Thus, fear.
gollark: Oh, that. Bee it, as they say.
