Yitzhar

Yitzhar (Hebrew: יִצְהָר) is an Israeli settlement located in the West Bank south of the city of Nablus just off Route 60, north of the Tapuach Junction. The predominantly Orthodox Jewish community with a population of 895 (2009) is within the municipal jurisdiction of the Shomron Regional Council. Under the terms of the Oslo Accords of 1993 between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, Yitzar was designated Area "C" under full Israeli civil and security control.
