Mevo Horon (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />מְבוֹא חוֹרוֹן, lit. Horon Gateway) is an Israeli settlement and religious moshav shitufi in the West Bank. Located near Latrun and Modi'in, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. In 2015, it had a population of 2,373. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]
The village was established in 1970 by members of the Ezra youth movement and was the first village in the Mateh Binyamin council area. It moved to present site in 1974.[3] It is named after the biblical Beit Horon (Joshua 10:10), which was located near the modern Israeli village and settlement of Beit Horon.
