November 4, 2025Beit Ezra is a moshav located in southern occupied Palestine, situated between Ashdod and Ashkelon on the Palestinian coastal plain. The moshav was established in 1950 by Iraqi immigrants on the ruins of the village of Hamama and was named after Ezra. To the south lies Hill 69, which was a military site and a battleground during the 1948 war. Near the settlement is the Ad Halom Bridge, where the Egyptian army halted during its advance toward Tel Aviv.
The number of settlers in Beit Ezra was 1,103 in 2014.
