The sanctions announced by the US Department of State and the Department of the Treasury are targeted at some Israelis and four illegal Israeli settlement outposts.
The US also blacklisted Lehava, an umbrella group for Israeli settlers, which it described as the largest violent extremist organization in Israel with more than ten thousand members.
The sanctions freeze any assets held by those targeted in US jurisdictions and block Americans from doing business with them.
The EU had already placed Lehava on its asset freeze and visa ban blacklist for their attacks on Palestinians earlier this year.
