The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]

History

According to ARIJ, Na'ale is built on land confiscated from the Palestinian towns of Al-Ittihad (Jammala),[3] Deir Qaddis,[4] and Shabtin.[5]

The village was established in 1988 by a group of Israel Aerospace Industries employees.
