Hamra (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />חַמְרָה, lit. Red Soil) is a moshav and Israeli settlement in the West Bank.[1] Located in the Jordan Valley and covering 3,500 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council.[1] In 2011 it had a population of 94.[2]
The moshav was founded in 1971 and was initially named Atarot, before being renamed after nearby Tel Hamra.[1]
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3]
