Halamish (Hebrew: חַלָּמִישׁ, lit. 'Flint'), also known as Neveh Tzuf (Hebrew: נְוֵה צוּף, lit. 'Oasis of Nectar'), is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, located in the southwestern Samarian hills to the north of Ramallah, 10.7 kilometers east of the Green line. The Orthodox Jewish community was established in 1977. It is organised as a community settlement and falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 1,590. On a hill within the settlement is Hovlata, an archeological site dating to the Hasmonean period.
The settlement of Neveh Tzuf is home to the religious pre-army Mechina Elisha.[2]
The international community considers Israeli settlements illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3]
