Avraham "Avri" Ran (Hebrew: אברי רן; born 1955) is an Israeli settler activist and businessman, with a record for repeated criminal offenses against Palestinians. He has been called the founding father and "undisputed symbol" of the Hilltop Youth movement. His approach to developing Palestinian lands has been described as "environmental racism", combining working the terra while applying terror. An organic food entrepreneur, he is also a reserve lieutenant/colonel in the IDF. He has been indicted several times, and convicted on four counts, three of assault and one case of aggravated assault. Considered in right-wing Israeli religious circles to be a "messianic hero", by some sources as a "charismatic guru", or one of the "biblical sabra", his presence in the area of the Palestinian village of Yanun has spelled "disaster" for the latter's inhabitants.
