Tomer (Hebrew: תֹּמֶר, lit. 'Palm Tree') is an Israeli settlement organized as a moshav in the West Bank.[2] Located in the Jordan Valley next to the Palestinian village of Fasayil, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council.[2] In 2023 it had a population of 420.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3][4][5][6]
