Mitzpe Aviv (Hebrew: מִצְפֵּה אָבִי"ב, lit. 'Spring Lookout') is a community settlement in northern Israel. Located in the Galilee near I'billin and Tamra, it falls under the jurisdiction of Misgav Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 1,070.[1]

History

The village was established in 1981. The second part of its name is an acronym for the name of the geographer and historian Avraham Ya'akov Brawer.[2]

In November 2009, Mitzpe Aviv amended its bylaws to require that members share the community's vision and goals, which include Zionism and Israel as a Jewish state.[3] Two other community settlements in the area, Manof and Yuvalim, had previously considered similar requirements, but did not implement them.[3]
