Beit Horon (Template:Langx) is a communal Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Bordering Route 443 between Modi'in and Jerusalem, the biblical pass of Beit Horon (Joshua 10:10), after which it is named,[1] it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. In 2024 it had a population of 1,435.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
History
Beit Horon was established on 1 December 1977.[3]
According to ARIJ, Israel confiscated land from several surrounding Palestinian villages in order to construct Beit Horon:
- 1036 dunams were taken from Beitunia, for Beit Horon and Giv'at Ze'ev,[4]
- 863 dunams were taken from Beit Ur al-Fauqa,[5]
- 67 dunams were taken from At-Tira,[6]
- 61 dunams were taken from Kharbatha al-Misbah.[7]
Beit Horon is a joint Secular and Orthodox community.[8] A religious elementary school located in Beit Horon serves local children as well as those from surrounding villages. There are also three nurseries and kindergarten, two synagogues, a kollel, a mikvah for women and men, and a library.[9]
