Mehola (Hebrew: מְחוֹלָה) is a religious moshav and Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located in the Jordan Valley near the Green Line and the Palestinian village of Bardala, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council. With an area of 5,000 dunams, in 2022 it had a population of 688.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
History
The village was established in 1967 by Bnei Akiva members. It was named after the biblical city of Abel-meholah (Judges 7:22, 1 Kings 4:12, 1 Kings 19:16), which was located in the area.
The inhabitants of Mehola cultivate some of the village lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of Al-Fatur.
In 1993, it was the site of Mehola Junction bombing.
In June 2012, the outpost Givat Sal'it (Hebrew: גבעת סלעית) in the northern Jordan Valley was retroactively legalised by redesignating it as a neighbourhood of Mehola, from which it is separated by a major inter-city highway.
