After the end of the British Mandate of Palestine and the subsequent establishment of the State of Israel, some of the Samaritans who were living in Jaffa emigrated to Samaria and lived in Nablus.
By the late 1950s, around 100 Samaritans left the West Bank for Israel under an agreement with the Jordanian authorities in the West Bank.
In 1954, Israeli President Yitzhak Ben-Zvi fostered a Samaritan enclave in Holon, Israel.

Until the 1990s, most of the Samaritans resided in the West Bank city of (Nablus) below Mount Gerizim.
They relocated to the mountain itself near the Israeli settlement Har Brakha as a result of violence during the First Intifada (1987–1990).
Consequently, all that is left of the Samaritan community in Nablus itself is an abandoned synagogue.
The Israeli army maintains a presence in the area.
