Mevo Dotan (Template:Lang-he) is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located in the northern Samarian hills, south of the Dothan Valley on road 585 east of Baqa al-Gharbiyye and adjacent to the Palestinian town of Ya'bad, it is organised as a community settlement and falls under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 612.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
History
In 2001, following the outbreak of jihadist violence resulting from the Second Intifada, and the degradation of the security level in the area, almost half the residents left the village. The heads of the village committee called for public assistance in repopulating the empty homes and in 2003, the 'Golan Yeshiva' decided to accept the challenge. Several families moved to the village, founded a kollel and rejuvenated the religious life in the village.
Alonei Arava Nature Reserve
Two kilometers south of Mevo Dotan is the Alonei Arava Nature Reserve, named after the oak trees (alonim) that grow in the area and the nearby Palestinian village of Arrabeh. East of the nature reserve is Jabal al-Aqra' (326 m), and the nature reserve overlaps the hill's northwest range.
