Beit HaEshel, Heritage site in Negev region, Israel.
Beit HaEshel features preserved buildings and structures that document the agricultural settlement patterns of 1940s Jewish pioneers in Palestine.
Founded in 1943 as one of three lookout settlements, Beit HaEshel served as an agricultural testing ground until its abandonment following Egyptian attacks in 1948.
The settlement's name, meaning House of the Tamarisk, connects to biblical narratives about Abraham planting tamarisk trees near Beersheba.
Located two kilometers southeast of Beersheba, the site contains archaeological remains from both the 1940s settlement and Chalcolithic period artifacts.
Archaeological excavations in 2003 revealed fifth millennium BCE Ghassulian flint sickle blades, indicating the location's ancient use as a flint workshop.
