In addition to the settlements officially recognized by the Israeli government as an independent community, there are also around 100 smaller settlements known as “outposts” ( plural : Hebrew מָאֳחָזִים/ מאחזים; transcribed : Ma'achasim or singular: Hebrew מְאַחֵז/ מאחז; transcribed : Me'aches ; English outpost ).

These small informal settlements are either illegally established under Israeli law, are near and are considered to be part of existing settlements, or are military outposts.
