Hilltop, outpost or lot 26, was an illegal outpost founded by Netanel Ozeri near the city of Hebron in the Judean Hills of the West Bank. It lay approximately from the Kiryat Arba settlement. At the time of its destruction, it had a population of around ten. The settlement was dismantled on numerous occasions on 24 March 2003 by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) due to a court order that established that the land belonged to Palestinian families who lived in the area. The settlement was the first to be destroyed during Ariel Sharon's second term of office. ==Netanel Ozeri== The illegal outpost made headlines following the death of Netanel Ozeri on 17 January 2003. Ozeri was killed in the evening by a 15-year-old Palestinian boy who was accompanied by another 16-year-old boy who kept look-out. One of the gunmen was subsequently killed by other Israelis present, while the second gunman was tracked and killed later by the IDF. Ozeri belonged to the banned extremist Jewish religious and nationalist Kach movement. Netanel (Nati) Ozeri, born in Jerusalem, was a student at the Yeshivat HaRaayon HaYehudi established by Rabbi Meir Kahane, and was a study partner of his son, Binyamin Ze'ev Kahane, who was killed in a terrorist attack in December 2000. Ozeri later went on to teach at the yeshiva in Jerusalem as well as in Kiryat Arba. Ozeri was a leader of the Hebron community in terms of both settlement and Torah study/teaching. His close friend, Noam Federman, said Netanel was "an interesting and unusual combination, the type of person who stood out as a leader. He was a man of Torah and a man of action." Federman noted that Netanel not only established new illegal settlement outposts and interested youths in settling there, he also made sure to teach them Torah on a regular schedule. After a long burial procession, Netanal Ozeri was buried in the old Jewish cemetery in Hebron. During the procession, settlers went against Jewish custom by exposing his face. They marched with his body throughout the southern West Bank, attempting to bury it on various hilltops in order to establish a Jewish presence there. The incident appears in Dan Setton's documentary ''Israel's Next War''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hilltop 26」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
