Fanatical Israeli colonists agreed to leave the officially unapproved "outpost" with which they were trying to take Palestinians' land, but their buildings will remain there, locked and off limits to the local Palestinians.

That is significant because that particular spot was chosen to help cut the West Bank in two parts, blocking Palestinians from travelling between.
