Pri Gan (Hebrew: פְּרִי גַּן, lit. 'Fruit Garden'), also known as Prigan, is a moshav in southern Israel. Located in the Hevel Shalom area of the north-western Negev desert, it falls under the jurisdiction of Eshkol Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 330.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]The moshav was founded in 1981 by former residents of Pri'el, an Israeli settlement in Sinai which was evacuated as part of the Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty. Its main produce is vegetables and flowers.
Pri Gan was targeted during 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel. Eleven members of the security team from nearby Shlomit came to defend the moshav, five of whom were killed during fighting.[2] However, no residents were killed.[3]
