Gibtun Settlement

Gibtun is a moshav located in central Palestine, near the Rosh Pina settlement. It was established in 1933 on land belonging to the depopulated village of Zarnouqa in the Ramla district. It was part of the Plan of Settlement 1000, which aimed to establish small agricultural settlements around major cities and support their defense against those referred to as "Arab troublemakers." In 2021, its population was approximately 390 settlers. Sources: Due to the scarcity of Arabic sources, we relied on "Israeli" sources: the Hebrew website of the settlement / Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics. The village of Zarnouqa is referenced from the Palestine in Memory website.
