Pedu'el
Pedu'el ( Hebrew פְּדוּאֵל, German: redeemed by God ) is an Israeli settlement in the northern West Bank . The settlement was founded in 1984 and named after a Bible verse: "Those redeemed by God will return and come to Zion with joy." (Isaiah 35:10) Pedu'el belongs to the Shomron regional administration and has 1,910 inhabitants (as of 2018).
The international community regards Pedu'el, like all Israeli settlements in the territories occupied since 1967, as illegal under international law . Israel denies this.
Pedu'el is near the green line in the north West Bank; 15 kilometers east of Petach Tikva and 12 kilometers southwest of Ariel . On the road 446 Pedu'el is connected to the road network in the West Bank. Directly north of Pedu'el is the Israeli settlement Alei Zahav, a little further south is the settlement Bet Arje-Ofarim . The Palestinian villages of Dayr Balut, Rafat and Kufr al-Dik are also close to the settlement .
