Kanaf (Hebrew: כָּנָף) is an Israeli settlement in the southern Golan Heights, organized as moshav shitufi, under the administration of Israel. One of four Golan settlements that overlook the Sea of Galilee,[2] it falls under the jurisdiction of Golan Regional Council. The settlement began to be populated in 1991,[3] and had a population of 486 in 2022.[1]
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[4]
