Kedron Settlement

Kedron is a moshav located in the central part of occupied Palestine. It was established in 1949 by a group of Zionist immigrants from Yugoslavia. The settlement was named after Wadi Kedron. Subsequently, Zionist immigrants from Romania also joined the settlement. It was established on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Qatra, which became abandoned during the Arab-Israeli war of 1948. As of 2022, the population of the settlement was 1,626 settlers.   Sources: Due to the scarcity of Arabic sources, we relied on Hebrew sources: the settlement’s Hebrew website / Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics. The village of Qatra is referenced from the Palestine Memory website.
