'Towards Matan' or 'God's Gift') is an illegal Israeli outpost in the West Bank on the lands of the Palestinian village of Wad Qana,[1] located around a kilometer south of Ma'ale Shomron, under the jurisdiction of the Shomron Regional Council.

[7][8] A synagogue erected on the site was closed down for lacking a building permit from the authorities in the Israeli Civil Administration.
