Yair Farm

Yair Farm (Hebrew: חוות יאיר, romanized: Havot Yair) is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, built as an illegal outpost in 1999 and legalized in 2021 by the Israeli government.

[1][2] Located near Nofim and Yakir, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council.

[3] The village was first established in 1999 as an outpost and named after Avraham (Yair) Stern, leader of the pre-state underground militant group Lehi, though the community's website notes the name of Yair ben Menashe.

According to Peace Now, the parent settlement of this outpost is Yakir and 17,666 square metres (190,160 sq ft) of the area that this outpost is built on is expropriated private Palestinian land.

[6] In January 2021, the outpost was regulated by the Israeli government, which declared it "a neighborhood of the Yakir settlement".
