Nes Harim Colony

Nes Harim

is a moshav in the central occupied Palestinian territories, located eight kilometers west of Jerusalem, at an elevation of 693 meters above sea level. The moshav was established in 1950 by immigrants and refugees from northern Iran, southern Kurdistan, and Morocco, on the lands of the depopulated village of Beit ‘Atab in the Jerusalem district, near Deir al-Hawa, whose inhabitants were displaced during the 1948 war in Operation Ha-Har.
