Mekhora (Template:Lang-he, lit. Homeland) is a moshav and Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located in the Jordan Valley, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bik'at HaYarden Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 179.

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

History

According to ARIJ, in 1980 Israel confiscated 438 dunams of land from the Palestinian villages of Al-Jiftlik, Beit Dajan and Beit Furik in order to construct Mekhora.

The moshav was founded in 1973 by a Nahal brigade, and was originally named Nahal Mekhora.
