Teneh Omarim

Teneh Omarim

Tene Omarim is ( _he. טנא עומרים, also known as Tene, Omarim, or Ma'ale Omarim) is an Israeli, non-Religious communal settlement in the southern Hebron Hills of the West Bank. It is just north of Meitar, and within the jurisdiction of of the Har Hebron Regional Council.

The Yishuv was established in 1983 as a Nahal settlement under the name "Nahal Omarim," and was "civilianized" in 1984. In 2005, as a part of Israel's unilateral disengagement plan, the Yishuv absorbed 13 families from Morag, Gush Katif.

Residents of the Yishuv list the name of the Yishuv as "Tene Omarim," although the government officially considers the name of the Yishuv "Tene," as a tribute to David Taneh, the first CEO of the Building and Housing Office.
