Former Israeli settlement

Slav שְׂלָו, שליו‎ (Hebrew) Former Israeli settlement Slav Coordinates: 31°19′19″N 34°14′18″E / 31.32194°N 34.23833°E / 31.32194; 34.23833 Country Israel Founded 1980

**Slav** ([Hebrew](/source/Hebrew_language): שְׂלָו, [lit.](/source/Literal_translation) '[quail](/source/Quail)') was an [Israeli settlement](/source/Israeli_settlement) in the [Gush Katif](/source/Gush_Katif) settlement bloc, located in the south-west edge of the [Gaza Strip](/source/Gaza_Strip) that existed until 2005.

## History

Slav was founded as a paramilitary [Nahal](/source/Nahal) settlement in 1980. The settlement was named after the bird that the [Israelites](/source/Israelites) ate in the desert during [the Exodus](/source/The_Exodus) from [Egypt](/source/Egypt).[1]

In 1982, with the signing of the [Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty](/source/Israel-Egypt_Peace_Treaty) and subsequent withdrawal from the [Sinai Peninsula](/source/Sinai_Peninsula), Slav became a transit camp of former residents evicted from Sinai and temporary home to the Midreshet Hadarom girls' seminary. At the beginning of the 90's, the location was divided into a military base and a residential civilian area with several families. In 2001, a small group of people including staff and students of the nearby 'Otzem' pre-military preparatory school in [Bnei Atzmon](/source/Bnei_Atzmon) moved to settle the village and strengthen its numbers.[1]

The residents of Slav were evicted by the [Israel Defense Forces](/source/Israel_Defense_Forces) on 20 August 2005, as part of [Israel's unilateral disengagement plan](/source/Israel's_unilateral_disengagement_plan).[2] The houses were destroyed by 24 August and the area was abandoned.[3]
