Katzrin (Hebrew: קַצְרִין; also Qatzrin) is an Israeli settlement and local council in the Golan Heights. Known as the "capital of the Golan," it is the second-largest locality there after Majdal Shams, and the largest Jewish locality. At the end of 2010, Katzrin had a population of 6,700. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law, though the Israeli government disputes this.
