Sde Yoav (Template:Lang-he-n, lit. Yoav Field) is a kibbutz in south-central Israel. Located between the cities of Kiryat Gat, Kiryat Malakhi and Ashkelon, it falls under the jurisdiction of Yoav Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 607.[1]
History
The kibbutz was founded in 1956, and was named after Yitzhak Dubno (nicknamed Yoav) who was killed whilst defending the nearby kibbutz of Negba during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. [citation needed]
Sde Yoav was founded on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Iraq Suwaydan.[2]
Today, like many kibbutzim, Sde Yoav is in the process of privatization. [citation needed]
