Shilo, West Bank, Israel
Shilo is a religious Israeli settlement in the northern West Bank. Located 28 miles north of Jerusalem on Route 60 and organised as a community settlement, it is neighboured by the Israeli settlements of Eli and Maale Levona and the Palestinian villages Sinjil, Turmus Ayya and Qaryut, and falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. In 2015 it had a population of 3,379.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
