Neve Dekalim was an Israeli Settlement in the Gush Katif settlement bloc in the Gaza Strip , founded in 1983 after the Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula , on sand dunes that were previously uninhabited. The Yishuv was situated between the Palestinian city of Khan Yunis and the Road #4 which crosses the Gaza Strip from north to south. The population consisted of about 520 families (2600 people), mainly Yeshiva, a Yeshiva for advanced studies, a women's college, a community center, a Research Center for the study of the Sinai region, a youth center and a golden agers club. There were eight synagogues, the regional library, two medical clinics, a strip mall including fast food restaurants as well as a supermarket and a small zoo. The industrial area housed a variety of factories engaged in carpentry, metal work, printing, mechanics, juice production and a brand new cookie factory. The evacuation of Neve Dekalim began on , though the infrastructures were left intact to aid the future Arab development of the area. The Palestinian Al-Aqsa University opened a campus on the site. {Link without Title} EXTERNAL LINKS |
