Be'er Ganim, Community settlement in Hof Ashkelon Regional Council, Israel.
Be'er Ganim is a residential settlement in the Hof Ashkelon Regional Council in southern Israel, organized around residential neighborhoods. It falls under the regional administration which oversees infrastructure and development across multiple communities in the area.
The settlement was established in 2012 as housing for families who relocated from the Gaza Strip during territorial changes. This was part of broader demographic shifts occurring in southern Israel at that time.
The name Be'er Ganim comes from Hebrew words meaning 'Gardens Well', reflecting the region's connection to farming and water management. This naming reveals how central irrigation and cultivation were to local identity.
The settlement is accessible via local roads and connected to regional services through the council administration. Visitors should be aware that local facilities operate during standard hours, and not all services are available outside of business times.
The settlement forms part of a network of five kibbutzim, eleven moshavim, and two community settlements that compose the regional council structure.
