(AP/Washington Post) - Population in the outlying settlements - which tend to attract Israelis motivated more by ideology than economic benefits - grew faster than those in areas closer to the line with Israel. For example, Kfar Darom in Gaza grew by 52% during the past three years. Nearby Netzarim grew by 24%. Jewish enclaves in the West Bank city of Hebron grew by almost 15% to 554 residents.
