Hill 777 or Givat Arnon (Hebrew: גבעת ארנון) is an Israeli outpost in the West Bank, a 12 kilometer drive from Itamar, under the jurisdiction of the Shomron Regional Council, 28 km inside the Green Line.[2]

Hill 777, like all Israeli outposts, is illegal under Israeli law.[3] The international community views Israeli outposts as Israeli settlements and considers them also illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[4]

## History[edit]

The Hill 777 outpost was founded in 1999.[1] Despite being 5.6 km from Itamar, it is an outpost of Itamar.[5]

The name Givat Arnon was given in memory of Aryeh Agranioni. In May 2001, Agranioni was guarding a railway container housing agricultural equipment on Hill 777. While on guard he was murdered with his own gun.[1]

Originally Hill 777 was an unrecognized outpost, and in 2000 were forced to evacuate and the residents moved to Hill 830. The murder of Agranioni helped accelerate the issuing of a military permit enabling the Hill 777 outpost. Residents returned home to Hill 777 only one year after leaving.[1]

## Population[edit]

Currently there are 7 families living on Hill 777. These residents are currently living in 6 caravans and a container.[5]
