Sufa, Sinai
Sufa was an Israeli settlement and kibbutz in Sinai. Located two kilometres east of Yamit, it was evacuated as part of the Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty in 1982. Its former residents established a new kibbutz by the same name in the north-western Negev desert near the border with the Gaza Strip. Sufa was established in 1974 as a Nahal settlement, its name derived from the severe dust storms which occurred in the area. On 17 January 1977 it was recognised as a kibbutz.
Talmei Yosef, Sinai
Talmei Yosef was an Israeli settlement and moshav in the Sinai Peninsula. Located near Yamit, it was evacuated in 1982 as a result of the Camp David Accords. The moshav was established in 1977 by a gar'in group of immigrants from South Africa and the United States. It was named after Yosef Weitz, a former director of the Land and Afforestation Department of the Jewish National Fund.

In 1979, it was renamed in honor of Avshalom Feinberg, a leader of the Nili espionage network who had died in Sinai during World War I. Avshalom was dismantled three years later as a result of the Camp David Accords. In 1990 a new communal settlement by the same name was founded in Israel.
