Elon Moreh (Hebrew: אֵלוֹן מוֹרֶה) is an Orthodox Jewish Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located northeast of the Palestinian city of Nablus, on the slopes of the Mount Kabir ridge, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council. In 2022, it had a population of 2,105.
Elon Moreh is located on land confiscated from two Palestinian villages, Azmut and Deir al-Hatab.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
