Beit Shikma (Hebrew: בֵּית שִׁקְמָה, lit.
House of Sycamore) is a moshav in southern Israel.
Located near Ashkelon, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hof Ashkelon Regional Council.
[1] The moshav was founded in 1950 by Jewish immigrants and refugees from Libya and Morocco.
Built on the lands of the depopulated Palestinian Arab village of al-Jiyya,[2] it was named after the large sycamore fig trees in the area.
