Susya

Susya (Arabic: سوسية‎, Hebrew: סוּסְיָא) is the site of an ancient Judean village in the southern Hebron Hills of the West Bank, a Palestinian village established in the 1830s and a religious communal Israeli settlement under the jurisdiction of Har Hebron Regional Council established in 1983.

The Israeli settlement was established between May and September 1983 on 1,800 dunams of land. It had a population of 737 in 2006.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
