gush etzion

Gush Etzion is a group of Israeli settlements first established between 1943 and 1947 located in the West Bank, halfway between Jerusalem and Hebron. Prior attempts to reestablish communities in the area in 1917-1919 and 1935-1936 failed. The history of the settlements is split into two distinct periods as a result of the destruction by Arab armed forces of the original communities: Kfar Etzion, Maasuot Yitzchak, Ein Tzurim and Revadim during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. (See Kfar Etzion massacre.) Settlements were reestablished after the Six-Day War, beginning with Kfar Etzion in September 1967. Many of the returnees to Kfar Etzion were children of members of the original settlements. Currently, Gush Etzion includes:

Kfar Etzion
