Bat Ajin ( Hebrew בת עין, German: Augapfel) is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank . The settlement was founded in 1989 and belongs to the Gush Etzion settlement block . At the end of 2016 the settlement had 1307 inhabitants, in 1994 Bat Ajin had 319 inhabitants.

The international organizations and the community of states consider Bat Ajin, like all Israeli settlements in the territories occupied since 1967, to be illegal under current international law ( IV. Geneva Convention ). However, Israel denies that it is occupied territory to which the IV Geneva Convention applies.

The founders of Bat Ajin were originally non-Orthodox Jewish Israelis who had newly embraced Orthodox Judaism . They can be assigned to a current of religious Zionism that combines the Hasidic teachings of Chabad , Rabbi Nachman , Zvi Yehuda Kook and Shlomo Carlebach .

In 2002, a Jewish terrorist organization from the settlement, supporters of Meir Kahane , attempted to carry out an explosive attack on a Palestinian girls' school in Jerusalem .

On July 13, 2009, Israeli settlers from Bat Ajin set fire to Palestinian plantations to deliberately destroy almond and olive trees. In the previous month, the settlers had destroyed around 200 trees belonging to Palestinian farmers in the area, and the Israeli army had arrested 15 left-wing Israeli activists who wanted to support the Palestinian farmers.
