Nitzanim Youth Village

Nitzanim Youth Village

Nitzanim Youth Village (Hebrew: כפר הנוער ניצנים‎, Kfar HaNoar Nitzanim) was a youth village in southern Israel. Located in the Nitzanim dunes, it fell under the jurisdiction of Hof Ashkelon Regional Council.

The village was founded in 1949 on the original site of kibbutz Nitzanim, which had moved to a new site four kilometres south following its recapture from the Egyptian army by Israeli forces during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War (See also: Battle of Nitzanim). The village closed in 1990.

A boarding school was opened on the site in the 1990s, and at the end of the 1990s the religious communal settlement of Nitzan was founded on its land.
