Givat Yoav (Hebrew: גִּבְעַת יוֹאָב) is an Israeli settlement, moshav, located in the southern Golan Heights, under the administration of Israel. The settlement was built in the 1960s. It was named for Col. Yoav Shaham, who was killed during the Samu Incident in 1966. 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]
