The Rehovot subdistrict is one of Israel's subdistricts in Central District.[2] The principal city of the subdistrict is, as the name implies, Rehovot.

History

[edit]

The subdistrict is composed mostly of the western half of what had been, during Mandatory Palestine, the Ramle Subdistrict, before it was ethnically cleansed by Zionist forces during the Nakba.
