Ashalim

Ashalim (Hebrew: אשלים) is a small community settlement in southern Israel.

Located in the Negev desert about 35 km south of Be'er Sheva and on the eastern side of Nahal Besor, the largest stream in the Negev, it falls under the jurisdiction of the Ramat HaNegev Regional Council.

[1] The original village of Ashalim was one of three Nahal settlements founded between Mashabei Sadeh and Nitzana in 1956.

The new Ashalim was founded as moshav shitufi in 1979 after moving from Bir Asluj Hill close to Golda Park, a nearby artificial lake.

In 2008 construction began on three solar power plants near the settlement; two thermal and one photovoltaic.
