The outposts have Hebrew names, so obviously they were Jewish outposts.
Thank you for your reply. I am not Jewish nor do I know buch about Jewish names. My name is Daniel, which is biblical, several Jewish friends have names like Michael, Zachary and Stewart so there is not a lot to cue my knowledge.
Regarding the settlements, were my neighbor trying to kill me, I wuld not hesitate to build fortifications and outposts on his ground.
