Ge'a

The community encompasses individual family farms across a terrain situated 49 meters above sea level, three kilometers southeast of Ashkelon city.

Jewish immigrants from Czechoslovakia and Hungary established Ge'a in 1949, building it on the former grounds of the Palestinian village al-Jiyya.

The moshav follows the agricultural cooperative model where families maintain private farms while sharing community resources and participating in collective decision-making.

The settlement contains 972 residents as of 2022, with a local synagogue and administrative services provided by the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council.

The geographical position at 31°37′37″N and 34°36′14″E places this farming community within reach of urban amenities while maintaining its agricultural character.
