Adei Ad gained international attention in January 2015, when residents allegedly engaged in throwing rocks at a delegation from the U.S.

[3] It was established on land privately owned by Palestinians and was therefore considered illegal under Israeli law,[4] although the ownership was disputed by the settlers.

[5] In June 2003 the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) deployed paratroopers to blockade Adei Ad while it was dismantled.

[6] The High Court of Justice temporarily enjoined this dismantling operation and Binyamin Regional Council leader Pinhas Wallerstein accused the Israeli government of scheduling the dismantling of the outpost to coincide with a visit to Israel of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice in order to show its commitment to the ongoing peace process.

[8] Adei Ad was the beneficiary of agricultural aid from Mishmeret Yesha, which by 2008 had cleared large areas of land around the outpost and planted thousands of dunams of grapevines.

[11] In January 2015, settlers at what Haaretz referred to as the Adei Ad "illegal outpost"[12] threw stones at diplomats from a U.S. delegation who had arrived to inspect vandalism reported at a grove of Palestinian-owned trees in the occupied West Bank.
