Havat Skali (Hebrew: חוות סקאלי, lit. 'Skali Farm'), also known as Point 792, is an illegal Israeli outpost in the West Bank. Located around four kilometres south-east of Elon Moreh, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[1]
