Ganim
Ganim (Hebrew: גַּנִּים) was an Israeli settlement in the northern West Bank, just west of the large Palestinian city of Jenin, under the administrative local government of the Shomron Regional Council.[1] Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, are illegal under international law.[2]
History
[edit]The settlement was founded in 1983 by members of Betar.[3] Its name was derived from the assumed biblical name of Jenin, the nearby city, which was originally called Ein Ganim (Anem) of the Tribe of Issachar (Joshua 19:21). For this reason, Ein Ganim was also the name given to an Israeli community which today is a neighborhood of the Israeli city of Petah Tikva.
Unilateral disengagement
[edit]The residents of Ganim were evacuated from their homes and the synagogue was dismantled by the Israeli army as part of Israel's disengagement in 2005.[4]
