Tzur Natan (Hebrew: צוּר נָתָן, lit. Rock of Nathan) is a Moshav shitufi in central Israel. Located in western Samaria on a hilltop, 170 m above sea level, on a ridge in the foothills of the Samaritan Hills and to the south of Tayibe,[2][3] it falls under the jurisdiction of Drom HaSharon Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 290.[1]

History

[edit]

The moshav was founded in 1966 as a Nahal settlementbyHashomer Hatzair members, and was named after Nathan Simons. It was civilianised a year later by former members of the Beitar youth group.

In 2017, a minority of Tzur Natan families agreed to sell their land to a natural gas and diesel power station to be constructed by Edeltech only meters from the Arab Israeli city of Tira.

Archaeology

[edit]

In 2019, a 5th-century mosaic with Greek inscription found at an ancient wine press. The inscription reads, “Only God help the beautiful property of Master Adios, amen.” Adios was a wealthy Samaritan landowner.[4]
