Bat Hadar

Bat Hadar is a residential settlement in the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council situated on elevated terrain approximately 56 meters above sea level, near the Mediterranean coast in southern Israel. The community features planned housing arranged to support organized daily life for its residents.

The settlement was established in 1994 as a planned community to expand residential areas in southern Israel. It emerged from a government initiative focused on developing new housing in this southern coastal region.

The name Bat Hadar means Daughter of Citrus, referencing the former Hadaria farm that once occupied this land. Residents embrace this agricultural past as part of their community identity.

The settlement is easily accessible by road from the nearby city of Ashkelon, where you will find shops, schools, and medical facilities. Most visitors travel by car since the community is designed around personal transportation.

The settlement was built on the site of a former citrus plantation, linking its economic past to modern residential development. This shift from farming to residential community shapes the place's story to this day.
