Eshbol, Agricultural moshav in Merhavim Regional Council, Israel
The settlement stands at 173 meters above sea level in the northwestern Negev region, between the cities of Netivot and Rahat.
Iranian Jewish immigrants from the Yazd region established this agricultural community in 1955 as part of Israel's settlement expansion program.
Residents maintain individual family farms while participating in cooperative activities through the Moshavim Movement, following traditional agricultural practices.
The settlement contains facilities for 662 inhabitants and operates agricultural enterprises that contribute substantially to the regional food production.
The name Eshbol derives from the Hebrew word for cluster, reflecting the agricultural focus of this Iranian Jewish diaspora settlement.
