Keida

Keida was founded in 2003. Originally, it was supposed to be built on an abandoned army base of the same name but was later moved to an adjacent hilltop. The outpost is under the jurisdiction of the Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. {{citation needed|date=August 2021}} The outposts in the group confiscated for Israeli settler use some 70% of the Palestinian village of Jalud's agricultural land.{{sfn|Unispal|2011}}{{efn|"More than 1200 dunums of the (Jalud) village land were confiscated for colonial activities and around 90% of the village lands (that is more than 10,000 dunums) was declared military zones turning the village into an isolated area only for the protection of colonists." {{harv|POICA|2014}}}}

There is no public transportation serving Keida. The only means of transportation are car or hitchhiking.Access is difficult, since Keida like the 5 other illegal outposts, is surrounded by several checkpoints. No journalists, Israeli or otherwise, were permitted into Keida until 2009.{{sfn|Koutsoukis|2009}} Though most of the outpost structures are under demolition orders, which are not implemented, as of 2018 the American tourist booking company Airbnb listed Keida as a "neighbourhood".{{efn|"Israel, ... has tried to avoid international censure by registering outposts..as 'neighborhoods' of established settlements, though some are far apart and function as separate communities." {{harv|Kershner|2016}}}} with accommodation for visiting guests.{{sfn|Human Rights Watch|2018}}{{efn|Under protest, Airbnb delisted West Bank settlements from its tourist rental coverage. The move was branded as one of the 10 most egregious "antisemitic" incidents of 2018 by the Simon Wiesenthal Center ({{harvnb|Simon Wiesenthal Center|2018|p=3}}; {{harvnb|Stern-Weiner|2021|p=4}}).}}

One of its settlers, Yair Hirsch, was appointed by Avichai Mandelblit, the Attorney General of the Naftali Bennett government in 2021 to the post of Interior Minister director general.{{sfn|Hass|2021}} His residence in Keida was built in violation of Israeli building laws, and is subject to a demolition order.{{sfn|Hass|2021}}{{sfn|Peleg|Shezaf|2021}}

According to Palestinian testimonies, on 15 February 2011 3 settlers from Keida shot Wael Toubasy (16) in the stomach as he was walking home with his brother from their family's olive groves. Their father Mahmoud also reported being shot at by settlers from Keida in 2001 while he was driving his tractor.{{sfn|Unispal|2011}}

The current population of the Keida outpost consists of some 80 settler families.{{sfn|Peleg|Shezaf|2021}}
