Sde Yoav (Hebrew: שְׂדֵה יוֹאָב‎, lit. Yoav's Field) is a kibbutz in southcentral Israel. Located between the cities of Kiryat Gat, Kiryat Malakhi and Ashkelon, it falls under the jurisdiction of Yoav Regional Council. In 2019 it had a population of 583.[1]

History[]

The kibbutz was founded in 1956, and was named after (nicknamed Yoav) who was killed whilst defending the nearby kibbutz of Negba during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.[citation needed]

Sde Yoav was founded on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Iraq Suwaydan.[2]

Today, like many kibbutzim, Sde Yoav is in the process of privatization.[citation needed]
