Ganim

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ganim (Hebrew: גנים) was an Israeli settlement in the West Bank region of Samaria under the administrative local government of the Shomron Regional Council.

The settlement was founded in 1983 by members belonging to Betar. Its name was derived from the biblical name of Jenin, the nearby city, which was originally called En-gannim. Ein Ganim belonged to the area under the control of the Tribe of Issachar. For this reason, Ein-Ganim was also the name given to an Israeli community which today forms part of the Israeli city of Petah Tikva.

Ganim was forcefully evacuated during Israel's disengagement of 2005.
