History
Hispin was established in 1978. It falls under the municipal jurisdiction of the Golan Regional Council. The international community (excluding the US) considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2] In 2018 the village had a population of 2,057.[1]
Haspin was built near the former Arab village Khisfin, a town that features prominently in the early rabbinic writings of the 3rd century CE, under the name Hisfiyya.[3] It is also mentioned in the 3rd century Mosaic of Rehob.[3]
