Haspin (), widely known as Hispin, is a religious Israeli settlement organized as a community settlement in the southern Golan Heights. The international community considers the settlement illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
==History== The modern Haspin was established in 1978 at the site of the abandoned village Khisfin (). During G. Schumacher's visit to the village in 1883, it was inhabited by about 270 people, living in some 60 huts. Three-fourths of the village already lay waste or deserted.
