Gvaot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gvaot (Hebrew: גבעות‎) is an Israeli settlement located in Gush Etzion, in the westernmost area of the settlement bloc. The location is strategically located above the highway from Gush Etzion to Beit Shemesh and the Shephelah.

A 1982 Israeli government decision led to the construction of an IDF Nahal outpost at the site in 1984. In 1997 the base was transferred to the Shvut Yisrael Hesder Yeshiva, which moved there from nearby Efrat.

Over the following decade the Yeshiva developed the location as a housing area for its married students and their families. The yeshiva itself moved back to Efrat in 2003. Currently 16 families live in the settlement in mobile homes.
