Had Ness (Hebrew: חַד נֵס) is an Israeli settlement organized as a community settlement in the Golan Heights. Located adjacent to the Jordan River, it falls under the jurisdiction of Golan Regional Council. In 2024 it had a population of 885.[2]
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law[3], but the Israeli government disputes this.
History
Had Ness was established by the revisionist Zionist Herut Beitar settlement movement. Home ownership was approved in March 1982, after the Golan Heights Law was passed in 1981. Families began to move there in 1987.[4] It was named after 3 settlements, Holit, Dekla and Neot Sinai, evacuated from the Sinai Peninsula as a result of the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty in 1979.[5]
Transportation
The Golan Regional Council operates seven buses per day from Had Ness to the Israeli city of Tiberias. The bus line begins at Katzrin. The bus ride to Tiberias takes approximately 22 minutes.[6] Had Ness is located along Highway 888, four kilometers from Highway 87, a major road running through the Golan Heights.
