This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.Tel Katifa (Hebrew: תל קטיפא), was a small Israeli settlement located in the northeast end of the Gush Katif settlement bloc of the Gaza Strip, and evacuated in Israel's disengagement of 2005.
Tel Katifa was founded in May 1992 on the Mediterranean coast by second generation Gush Katif single farmers.
The residents understood that they would need to attract families in order for the settlement to develop properly and in 1998, several from Ganei Tal, Katif, and Neve Dekalim answered the call.
The singles had been living in trailers, electricity was provided by a generator that did not work all day because of the high cost of operation.
A natural pond was located in the heart of the settlement, water from which was used to irrigate a small greenhouse farm.
