Shavei Darom

Shavei Darom (Hebrew: שבי דרום, lit.

'Returnees to the South') is a community settlement in southern Israel.

Located to the south-east of Sderot, it falls under the jurisdiction of Merhavim Regional Council.

[1] The village was built to rehouse former residents of Kfar Darom, an Israeli settlement in the Gaza Strip that was evacuated as part of the Gaza disengagement in 2005.

Its construction was approved by the government in December 2009, with the former settlers having lived in Ashkelon following their removal from Gaza.
