Beit Yatir (Hebrew: בית יתיר), officially Metzadot Yehuda (Hebrew: מְצָדוֹת יְהוּדָה), is an Israeli settlement in the southern Hebron Hills of the West Bank, organized as a religious-Zionist Orthodox moshav.
Located on a hill, 900 metres above sea level, near the Green Line, south of Susiya, and close to the Palestinian village of as-Seefer,[2] it falls under the jurisdiction of Har Hevron Regional Council.
[3] Beit Yatir was established in 1979 by students from the Mercaz HaRav Yeshiva.
A visual landmark of the moshav is a high wind turbine.
A Religious Pre-Army Mechina, with several dozen students enrolled, is headed by Rabbi Moshe Hagar.
