Metzar (Hebrew: מֵיצָר) is an Israeli settlement, kibbutz, in the southern Golan Heights which lies in the municipal territory of the Golan Regional Council. Metzar was the 29th settlement on the Golan Heights.[1] The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
