Misgav Dov (Hebrew: מִשְׂגַּב דֹּב, lit. Dov's Fortress) is a moshav in south-central Israel. Located near Gedera in the coastal plain, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gederot Regional Council. In 2019 it had a population of 722.

History[]

The moshav was founded though the Mishkei Herut Beitar settlement movement by Herut members from Haifa in 1950 on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Bashshit.[2][3]

It was named after Dov Gruner, a member of the Irgun who was executed by the British authorities. The founders were later joined by new immigrants from Iraq, Poland and the Soviet Union.[2]
