Ma'ale Mikhmas (Hebrew: מַעֲלֵה מִכְמָשׂ) is an Israeli settlement and a village in the Binyamin region of the northern West Bank and under the municipal responsibility of the Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. The settlement was founded in 1981 along the Allon Road by a few families from Ma'ale Adummim.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[1]
