Livne (Hebrew: לִבְנֶה, lit. Birch), also known as Shani (Hebrew: שָׁנִי, lit. Scarlet) is a communal Israeli settlement in the southern Hebron Hills of the West Bank, though some of the village is over the Green Line and therefore in Israel proper. Located to the south of Hebron, it falls under the jurisdiction of Har Hebron Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 416.
The village was established in 1982.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[1]
