Sdeh Bar Farm (Hebrew: חַוַּת שְׂדֶה בָּר, Havat Sdeh Bar) is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Originally an Israeli outpost, illegal under Israeli law, it has been retroactively designated a suburb of Nokdim, located adjacent to the Palestinian village of Jubbet ad-Dib. [1] Located south of Bethlehem near the foothills of Herodium, [2] it falls under the jurisdiction of Gush Etzion Regional Council.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this. [3]
Sdeh Bar was established in 1998 as an outpost from Nokdim. It was retroactively authorised in 2005 as a neighborhood of Nokdim. [1]
Sde Bar includes a residential program for troubled young Israeli men who lack familial support. It was run by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Social Services. [4] In 2010, the program lost state funding due to reports of drugs and sexual abuse. [1]
Baruch Feldbaum, head of security at Sdeh Bar, was convicted of assaulting and injuring Palestinians in aggravated circumstances after an altercation with shepherds at the settlement. [4]
Since 2012 a boutique dairy restaurant has been operating at the settlement. [5]
