Sal'it (Hebrew: סַלְעִית, lit. Wheatear) is an Israeli settlement organized as a moshav in the West Bank. Located around eight kilometres south of the Palestinian city of Tulkarm, it falls under the jurisdiction of Shomron Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 1,450.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]

History

The village was established in 1979 by the Mishkei Herut Beitar movement.
