She'ar Yashuv (Hebrew: שְׁאָר יָשׁוּב) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located in the Upper Galilee in the northeastern Hula Valley, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mevo'ot HaHermon Regional Council. In 2015 it had a population of 644.
The moshav came to public awareness after the 1997 Israeli helicopter disaster, when two IDF helicopters collided in midair above the settlement, killing 73 people on board.
She'ar Yashuv was first founded in February 1940 as part of the Ussishkin fortresses by 30 families from the HaNoar HaTzioni ("Zionist Youth") and HaOved HaTzioni ("Zionist Workers"). It was originally called Metzadot Ussishkin Gimel, lit. "Ussishkin Fortresses 3", before being renamed Aleh Reish ("Go Up, Take Possession"). The present name is taken from the Book of Isaiah 10:21 ("A remnant will return, (the remnant of Jacob)").
When the battles of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War ended and a ceasefire was declared at the end of 1948, most of the inhabitants abandoned the community because of artillery shells fired by Syria from Tel Azaziat, which overlooks the village from the east. In 1949 it was resettled by remnants of the original community. This time, by members of HaNoar HaTzioni from Hungary who survived the Holocaust and had come to Israel during the war. After the war it also gained some land that had belonged to the depopulated Arab village of al-Mansura.
