The
Shfela or
Shephelah (, also ,
Shfelat Yehuda, the "Judean foothills"), is a
lowland region in south-central
Israel stretching over 10–15 km between
Mount Hebron and the
coastal plain. It was one of the regions allotted to the biblical
Tribe of Dan (
Joshua 19:40-41). Today the Shfela is largely rural with many farms.
