Sa-Nur

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sa-Nur, 1978

Sa-Nur (Hebrew: שָׂא נוּר, lit. Flame Carrier) was an Israeli settlement in the northern West Bank under the administrative jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council.[1] Prior to its demolition, Sa-nur was home to 43 families.[2] In September 2005 its 105 residents were evicted and IDF soldiers began dismantling Sanur as part of Israel's unilateral disengagement plan.[3] The demolition of Sa-Nur and Homesh marked the end of the central part of the disengagement plan.[4] The only remaining structure, a synagogue, was buried, in order to prevent its desecration by the Arabs.

Since the demolition, religious Zionist groups have attempted to return to Sa-nur, in order to rebuild the community. The largest attempt to date took place on May 8, 2008. Following a permitted Independence Day rally in Homesh, a group of 150 set off at night for Sa-nur, including many former residents.[2]
