Hevel Lakhish

Hevel Lakhish ( _he. חבל לכיש, lit. "Lakhish Region") is an area of south-central Israel. Part of the southern Shephelah, it is located between the Judean Mountains and the Mediterranean Sea and is named after the Biblical city of Lachish.

After the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, three kibbutzim were founded in the area - Gal On, Gat and Negba. Between 1955 and 1961 twenty more settlements were established.

The area is covered by three regional councils - Lakhish, Shafir and Yoav - and one city council, Kiryat Gat.
