Hamra (Hebrew: חַמְרָה, lit.'Red Soil') is an Israeli settlement organized as a moshav in the West Bank.[2] Located in the Jordan Valley and covering 3,500 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council.[2] In 2021 it had a population of 273.[1]

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3]

History

The moshav was founded in 1971 and was initially named Atarot, before being renamed after nearby Tel Hamra.[2]

According to ARIJ, Israel confiscated land from two nearby Palestinian villages in order to construct Hamra; 1,370 dunams from Furush Beit Dajan, 192 dunams for a military checkpoint close to Hamra,[4] and an unspecified amount from Beit Dajan.[5]

In 2020 a family in the nearby Humsa al-Tata village, located above the Hamra checkpoint, was ordered to destroy their home and concrete castings around contiguous structures, including a well and olive trees, after the Israeli government declared it was on an archaeological site. The owner stated that they had lived there since their great-grandfather's time and no-one had ever heard of antiquities on their land.[6]
