Mekhora (Template:Lang-he-n, 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 2011 it had a population of 117.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
History
The moshav was founded in 1973 by a Nahal brigade, and was originally named Nahal Mekhora.
