Alonei HaBashan (Template:Lang-he-n) is an Israeli settlement, moshav shitufi, located in the central Golan Heights, under the administration of Israel.
Alonei HaBashan was established in 1981. The name, literally "Oaks of Bashan", is taken from the Bible (Isaiah 2:13). "Bashan" is a Biblical name for the Golan Heights. It falls under the municipal jurisdiction of the Golan Regional Council. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
In November 2012, three mortars fired from Syria landed near Alonei Bashan. Two exploded in open areas and one fell outside a house but did not explode. [3]In February 2013, a Syrian tank shell landed in the village. Sappers who dismantled it believe it may have been a stray round fired in the course of the Syrian civil war.[4]
