Lapid (Template:Lang-he-n, lit. Torch) is an Israeli community settlement. Located in the Latrun Salient of the Green Line near Modi'in Illit, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hevel Modi'in Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 2,325.[1]

History

Lapid was established in 1996. According to B'Tselem, it was built on a strip of land designated no man's land inside the Green Line. Before the Six-Day War in 1967, this territory did not belong to either Jordan or Israel.[2]

According to ARIJ, Israel confiscated 441 dunam of land from the Palestinian village of Saffa after 1967 for the construction of Lapid.[3]
