According to ARIJ, Israel confiscated land from several Palestinian villages in order to construct Ma'ale Shomron, including confiscating 268 dunums of land from Azzun 69 dunams taken from Deir Istiya, and 367 dunums of land from Kafr Thulth / Arab Al Khouleh (including land for Karnei Shomron and Emmanuel).
