Odem (Hebrew: אֹדֶם or אודם) is an Israeli settlement and moshav shitufi in the northern part of the Golan Heights. Located on Mount Odem, at a height of 1,090 meters (3,580 ft) above sea level, it is the second-highest town in Israel and the Israeli-occupied territories. It is surrounded by the Odem Forest and falls under the jurisdiction of Golan Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 192.[1]
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
