Elazar ( Hebrew אלעזר) is an Israeli settlement in Judea ( West Bank ), 18 km south of Jerusalem . The settlement was founded in 1975 and named after the Maccabees Elazar (Avaran), who was killed a little further west in the Battle of Beth Zechariah ( 1st Book of Maccabees 6: 43-46). Elazar is located in the Gush Etzion region . At the end of 2010, Elazar had 1905 inhabitants, in 1994 there were 398 inhabitants. On December 31, 2016, the place had 2568 inhabitants.
In 2011, the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the EU Foreign Affairs Representative Catherine Ashton described the Israeli settlements in the territories occupied since 1967 as illegal under international law, Israel denies this.
Elazar also owns the Netiv Ha'avot outpost, which is also illegal under Israeli law and was built on land belonging to the Mussa family from al-Khader.
