Forgetting how many of the West Bank settlers are Americans is easy. At least, until you listen to their Hebrew or hear some of the nicknames they give. "Havat Lutzifer" is a good example. It is a made-up name combining the Hebrew "Farm of" with the Hebrew closest pronunciation of the Western name for Satan, "Lucifer."#
The Farm of Lucifer is an illegal outpost* placed near the Susia settlement in Mount Hebron. The farm was established by Yaakov Talya in the 1980s and is known also as Talya Farm and Nof Nesher (Eagle's Landscape). The hill it sits atop is often called "Lucifer's Hill."

The sites mentioned are just south of the Palestinian town of Yatta, about 10km south of Hebron, the largest city in the area and home to the most extremist settlers.** Some of the Palestinians in Yatta believe to be descendants of Arabian-Jews tribes.
Why "Lucifer's Hill?" The farm and hill are located near an area the IDF has drily called "Zone 918." It is one of the largest Free-Fire Zones of the Israeli army. Had the settlers foolishly identified their real allegiance?
