Har Adar (Hebrew: הַר אֲדָר) is an Israeli settlement organized as a local council in the Seam Zone and the Maccabim sub-region of the West Bank. Founded in 1986,[2] it had a population of 4,065 in 2022. It is located near Abu Ghosh and the Green Line on Road 425, approximately 15 kilometers west of Jerusalem. Har Adar is ranked high on the Israeli socio-economic scale, at 9/10.[3] Har Adar was initially built adjacent to the Green Line but is now largely located within the West Bank.[4][5]
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[6]
