Moshav Mishmar HaShiv'a
Updated: Sep 7
Moshav Mishmar HaShiv'a is a moshav located in the central occupied Palestinian territories, near Beit Dajan. It was established in 1949 by discharged soldiers on lands that had previously belonged to the Palestinian village of Beit Dajan, whose residents were displaced during the 1948 war.
The settlement was named in memory of seven members of the "Notrim" force (Jewish auxiliary police) who were killed near Yazur on 22 January 1948.
The settlement's population in 2022 was about 1,040 people.
