Avshalom (Template:Langx) was an Israeli settlement in the Sinai Peninsula.
History
The settlement was founded in 1972.[1] It was initially named Merkaz Sadot ("Sadot Center") and later Yad On ("Hand of Strength"). In 1979 it was renamed in honour of Avshalom Feinberg, a leader of the Nili espionage network who had died in Sinai during World War I. Avshalom was dismantled three years later as a result of the Camp David Accords. In 1990 a new community settlement by the same name was founded in Israel.
