Mount Sabih is a mountain located between 3 Palestinian villages, Qabalan, Yatma and Beita, south of Nablus.
Mount Sabih has several peaks, the highest most southern of which was occupied in May 2021 by settlers who established an illegal Israeli outpost named Evyatar.
After a compromise with the Israeli authorities stipulating that the settlers may return if the land is subsequently deemed state-owned, the settlement was vacated on 2 July 2021.
[3][4][5] On 15 August 2021, the Israeli Supreme Court refused to consider the appeal and postponed their examination until a State Land declaration is made.
[6] In October 2021, 60 dunams (15 acres) was determined as state land and in February 2022 then-attorney general Avichai Mandelblit approved forming a legal settlement there.
