Located east of Netanya and adjacent to two kibbutzim; Bahan and Yad Hana, it covers 1,000 dunams and falls under the jurisdiction of the Hefer Valley Regional Council.

Etymology

[edit]

Bat Hefer is named after "Hefer," an administrative district in this area with a district chief in the time of King Solomon (1 Kings 4:10).

History

[edit]

Bat Hefer was founded as "Sokho" and named after the ancient town by the same name. Construction of the modern village began in 1995, and the first residents moved in during 1996. It was built as part of the Seven Stars project.[2]

On 22 May 2024 several Hamas militants opened fire at the Bat Hefer from the nearby West Bank city of Tulkarm causing damage but no casualties.[3]
