Mishmar HaNegev (Hebrew: מִשְׁמַר הַנֶּגֶב, lit. 'Guard of the Negev') is a kibbutz in the northern fringe of the Negev desert in Israel. Located on Road 264, about two kilometres south of the Bedouin city of Rahat and around ten kilometres from Beersheba, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bnei Shimon Regional Council. In 2022 its population was 1,124.[1]
Mishmar HaNegev was founded in 1946 as one of the 11 points in the Negev settlements. It was settled by members of Borochovi Youth, a youth group affiliated with Poalei Zion, who set up camp at the site on the evening of 6 October, just after the Yom Kippur fast. In 1994, privatisation process began in the kibbutz and in 2004 the kibbutz members voted to change the rules in favour of total privatisation.[2]
