Only a few hundred meters separate the fence that surrounds the settlement of Kokhav Hashahar from a group of four temporary structures. As far as the settlers are concerned, these are friendly neighbors, the members of the small outpost of Maoz Esther. One of them was the home of Ahuvia Sandak, whose parents were among the founders.
Like other illegal outposts, Maoz Esther was built on private Palestinian land. Last month, according to the hottest rumor on the hill, it was scheduled to be evacuated by the Civil Administration on December 22 – not for the first time. It has been repeatedly evacuated and repopulated for over a decade.
