Neve Yamin (Template:Lang-he-n) is a moshav in central Israel. Located near Petah Tikva and covering 3,300 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Drom HaSharon Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 1,200.[citation needed]
The moshav was formed in 1950 by immigrants from Greece, Iraq, Libya, Persia and North Africa. Its name is derived from Benjamin (Template:Lang-he).[citation needed]
Neve Yamin was built on the land of the Palestinian village of Kafr Saba, which was depopulated in May 1948.[1]
