Modi'in Illit

Modi'in Illit extends across 4.7 square kilometers between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, with residential zones named after important Jewish religious texts.

The settlement, established in 1994, stands on territories formerly belonging to five Palestinian villages: Ni'lin, Kharbata, Saffa, Bil'in, and Dir Qadis.

The city maintains thirty elementary schools and twenty secondary institutions that focus primarily on religious education for the Haredi Jewish population.

Highway 443 connects residents of Modi'in Illit to major urban centers, while local infrastructure includes community centers and religious facilities.

Archaeological excavations near the settlement revealed Khirbet Badd Isa, containing evidence of Jewish settlements from the Second Temple period.
