Keida

Keeda (Hebrew: קידה‎) is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank named after a genus of flower that grows in the region. It is situated just off the Allon Road, a five-minute drive east of Shilo. Other Israeli villages in the area include Shvut Rachel, Giv'at Har'el, Esh Kodesh, and Adei Ad. Keida was founded on June 24 2003 (Sivan 24, 5763 according to the Hebrew calendar) as a joint project by Amana and the Yesha Council. [1] Originally, it was supposed to be built on an abandoned army base of the same name but was later moved to an adjacent hilltop. The village is under the jurisdiction of the Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. [2]

There is no public transportation serving Keida. The only means of transportation are car or hitchhiking.

The current population of the village is approximately twenty-five families.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[3]

Attractions in the area
gollark: - less carrier meddling (forgot about that)
gollark: iPhones get you:- actually reliable updates (somewhat mitigated by custom ROMs)- shininess- probably higher performance on some models versus some models of non-iPhones
gollark: Oh, and there are more choices for non-iPhones, with different styles and whatnot.
gollark: Oh, and unlike iPhones, most Android (or Windows Phone, for the insane) phones don't have that stupid thing where the screen glass is fused to the digitizer or whatever it is, so cheaper screen repairs.
gollark: Those things are good?
