Rakefet
Rakefet is a communal settlement in northern Israel. Located in the Lower Galilee near Sakhnin, it falls under the jurisdiction of Misgav Regional Council. The name means " Cyclamen".
In 2006 it had a population of 761.
The village was established in 1981 as a moshav shitufi. In August 1989 it was converted to a communal settlement. In September 2011 a High Court of Justice ordered the Israel Lands Administration to allocate a plot of state land to an Arab couple, Fatina and Ahmed Zabeidat. The ruling came after the Arab couple was first denied a membership in the community.
