Nov (Hebrew: נוֹב) is an Israeli settlement, religious moshav, in the southern Golan Heights, under the administration of Israel. The settlement was built in 1974. It falls under the municipal jurisdiction of the Golan Regional Council. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[1]
Nov is named after a village on the site mentioned in the Jerusalem Talmud. The Arabs residing in the area called it Nab.[2]
