Merkaz Hever, Community settlement in Gilboa Regional Council, Israel.

Located at 69 meters above sea level in northern Israel, Merkaz Hever stands among agricultural fields within the Taanakh region.

Established in 1958 as a regional center for three neighboring communities, Merkaz Hever transformed into a communal settlement through expansion in 1982.

The settlement's name connects to biblical history, referencing Yael, wife of Hever the Kenite, mentioned in the Book of Judges.

The settlement maintains a population of 874 residents as of 2022, offering community services and facilities for neighboring settlements.

All five settlements in this area derive their names from the same biblical narrative found in chapters 4 and 5 of the Book of Judges.
