She'ar Yashuv (Hebrew:שְׁאָר יָשׁוּב) is amoshav in northernIsrael. Located in theUpper Galilee in the northeasternHula Valley, it falls under the jurisdiction ofMevo'ot HaHermon Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 649.[1]
The moshav came to public awareness after the1997 Israeli helicopter disaster, when twoIDF helicopters collided in midair above the settlement, killing 73 people on board.
The name "She'ar Yashuv" (Hebrew:שאר ישוב,lit. 'the remnant shall return/a few will return') is based on theeponymous son of the prophetIsaiah (seeIsaiah7:3).
She'ar Yashuv was first founded in February 1940 along withBeit Hillel as part of theTower and Stockade system by 30 families from theHaNoar HaTzioni ("Zionist Youth") andHaOved HaTzioni ("Zionist Workers"). It was originally calledMetzadat Ussishkin Gimel, lit. "Ussishkin Fortress (No.) 3", named afterMenahem Ussishkin, before being renamedAleh Reish ("Go Up, Take Possession"). The present name is taken from theBook of Isaiah10:21 ("A remnant will return, (the remnant of Jacob)").
When the battles of the1948 Arab–Israeli War ended and a ceasefire was declared at the end of 1948, most of the inhabitants abandoned the community because of artillery shells fired bySyria fromTel Azaziat, which overlooks the village from the east. In 1949 it was resettled by remnants of the original community. This time, by members of HaNoar HaTzioni fromHungary who survivedthe Holocaust and had come to Israel during the war. After the war it also gained some land that had belonged to the depopulatedPalestinian village ofal-Mansura.[2]
