Neve Ativ (Hebrew: נְוֵה אַטִי"ב), is an Israeli settlement in the Golan Heights, organized as a small Alpine-styled moshav. Located on the slopes of Mount Hermon, 2 kilometers (1.2 mi) west of Majdal Shams.[2] it falls under the jurisdiction of Golan Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 140.[1]
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3]

Ski resort
The moshav's main industry is tourism. Neve Ativ operates the nearby Mount Hermon ski resort,[4] which has 25 kilometers (16 mi) of ski runs on the slopes of the 9,232 feet (2,814 m)-above-sea-level Mount Hermon.[5][6] The resort was destroyed in the 1973 Yom Kippur War, but re-opened the following year.[4]
History
Israel and Syria fought major battles in the area in 1967 and 1973, and it remains a strategic military position.[7] Neve Ativ was built on the land of the destroyed Syrian village of Jubata ez-Zeit.[8][9] It was founded in 1972, when the Golan region was a part of the Israeli Military Governorate, governed by military occupation system. The name Ativ is an acronym for four fallen soldiers from the Egoz Reconnaissance Unit killed in action in the Golan: Avraham Hameiri, Tuvia Ellinger, Yair Elegarnty, and Binyamin Hadad. Neve means Oasis.
In 1981, the area of Golan was unilaterally annexed by Israel, abolishing military occupation system and imposing Israeli civil rule on the area.
In November 1996, a dining room in the settlement was set on fire and the walls on the building had "Down With the Occupation" and "The Golan Belongs to Syria" painted on them. Pro-Syrian Druze were believed to be behind it.[10]
