Ein Yahav ( Hebrew: עֵין יַהַב) is a moshav in Israel. Located 100 m below sea level in the northern Arava, 12 km south of Hatzeva and between the Yahav and Nikrot streams, [2] it falls under the jurisdiction of the Central Arava Regional Council. In 2022 it has a population of 856. [1]
Moshav Ein Yahav is named after the Yahav Spring, located southwest of the moshav.
In 1950, an agricultural experimentation station was set up at Ein Yahav by members of Shahal, a movement to settle arid areas of Israel. The station was abandoned and on 7 October 1953, Israel Defense Forces veterans settled there. [2] In 1959 a Nahal settlement was established 5 km to the east of the original. In 1962 it was civilianized by senior moshavniks and in 1967 the settlement moved to its current location. [3] Ein-Yahav has an airfield nearby (Airport Code: EIY). [4]
Ein Yahav has developed chocolate-colored peppers that combine the nutritional benefits of red and green peppers. [5]
There is an ancient copper-smelting site near Ein Yahav. A small hill with blackened slopes, covered mainly by crushed copper slag, identify the remains of the smelting devices used at the end of the Early Bronze Age for smelting copper.
