The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
A mixed community of religious and secular Jews, both native Israelis and immigrants, Nokdim is home to the religious pre-army Mechina Magen Shaul, established in 1996.
