Hill 777, an outpost also known as Givat Arnon, is technically part of the Itamar settlement to the East. The establishment of Hill 777, like that of many others, was connected to a terror attack which took the life of Aryeh Agranioni, a religious construction contractor, May 7, 2001.
Aryeh was on the night watch at the unoccupied outpost, guarding a container filled with agricultural equipment. He was murdered by terrorists, who also stole his gun in their raid.
As a result of the murder, a military permit was finally issued, enabling the Hill 777 "exiles" to return to the outpost's original location about 8 years ago. The original residents had been forced off the property during the reign of former Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and for a year they lived in temporary housing on Hill 830.
Some of the displaced, mainly immigrants from the former Soviet Union, remained at their temporary location, making two outposts out of one.

Acres of vineyards, producing wine grapes, are planted on the steep slopes of the hillsides above the Jordan Valley. On the horizon to the East, the Moab Mountains rise over Jordan, and when the desert sky permits the Dead Sea is visible.
