In 2005, the settlement homes were demolished along with three other settlements in the northern West Bank, at the same time as the Israeli disengagement from Gaza.

The international community considers all Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this, arguing that the legal status of the territory is disputed and unresolved.
