Alonei HaBashan
human settlement in the Golan Heights
Alonei HaBashan (Hebrew: אַלּוֹנֵי הַבָּשָׁן) is an Israeli settlement located in the eastern Golan Heights, organized as a moshav shitufi, under the administration of Israel, which considers it part of its sovereign territory. The settlement was established after Israel occupied the area in the Six Day War in 1967. It falls under the municipal jurisdiction of the Golan Regional Council, and is the easternmost locality within Israeli-controlled territory. In 2024 it had a population of 512. It is part of the Hapoel HaMizrachi movement.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
Etymology
The name, literally "Oaks of Bashan", is taken from the Bible (Isaiah 2:13). "Bashan" is a Biblical name for the Golan Heights.
History
The settler nucleus was established on the basis of a group of singles and one family who received settlement training at Ramat Magshimim. The nucleus ascended to the site on Lag BaOmer, May 1981 and the moshav was established.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Alonei HaBashan” as human settlement in the Golan Heights. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as human settlement in the Golan Heights. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2889637. Authority coordinates are 33.043, 35.838. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1967, 2024 and 1981.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
