Dimona () is an Israeli city in the Negev desert, to the south of Beersheba and west of the Dead Sea above the Arava valley in the Southern District of Israel.

Currently, Dimona is the third largest city in the Negev, with the population of 33, 900.

Dimona is home to Israel's Black Hebrew community, governed by its founder and spiritual leader, Ben Ammi Ben-Israel.

Dimona is at an average height of about 550 – 600 meters above sea level.

Dimona Railway Station is located in the southwestern part of the city.

The main bus terminal is the Dimona Central Bus Station, with lines to Beersheba, Tel Aviv, Eilat, and nearby towns.

The demonstrator aircraft is a Dimona motor glider, built by Diamond Aircraft Industries of Austria, which also carried out structural modifications to the aircraft.

Unlike the nuclear reactor at Dimona, where Israel refuses to allow any IAEA inspections, the reactor at Nahal Sorek is inspected by IAEA twice a year.

Yeruham is situated in the northern Negev, 15 km from Dimona, 520 meters above sea level.

Being relatively far from major urban centers ( 41 kilometers north of Eilat and 130 kilometers south of Dimona ), it is the center of the region, where most regional facilities are based: regional school, regional council offices, community center, sports center, movies and concerts hall and local airfield.

Ir Ovot is located south of the Dead Sea and southeast of Dimona in the Arabah valley, an arid plain located below the Negev plateau and south of the Jordan Rift Valley within the larger Great Rift Valley.

The induction of Super Dimona, a lightweight fixed wing powered aircraft in 2001, is a watershed in the history of AFTT and introduced a quantum jump in the quality of training.

In addition to flying eight sorties on Super Dimona, a cadet is taught subjects like aerodynamics, navigation, aero engines, instrumentation, aviation medicine, airmanship, airframe, avionics & radio aids, meteorology, GSK and air power.

The Black Hebrews number about 3000 in Dimona, with additional families in Arad, Mitzpe Ramon and the Tiberias area.

Owing to Peres ' mediation, Israel acquired the advanced Dassault Mirage III French jet fighter, established the Dimona nuclear reactor and entered into a tri-national agreement with France and the United Kingdom, positioning Israel in what would become the 1956 Suez Crisis.

France stopped supplying Israel with uranium fuel for the Dimona nuclear reactor after the 1967 Arab-Israeli War.

With a population of over 5, 000, most members live in their own community in Dimona, Israel, with additional families in Arad, Mitzpe Ramon, and the Tiberias area.

In February 2005, in conjunction with the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the group set up a conflict resolution center in Dimona to teach non-violence and reconciliation to families, communities, faiths and nations.

In April of 2011, Ben Ammi led a 7-member delegation to South Africa to engage in discussions with His Majesty King Goodwill Zwelithini and the South African Government to explore options of replicating the " Dimona Model " for community development in the country.

The final reserve isolation took place in 1990 with the successful felling and burning of a 200 meter-wide strip around the Dimona reserve ( Bierregaard 2001 ).

The proposal has also generated some concern in Egypt, which believes that the canal will increase seismic activity in the region ; provide Israel with water for cooling its nuclear reactor near Dimona ; turn the Negev Desert into a settlement area and increase well salinity ..
