Arid region of southern Israel (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

negev

(Other definitions for negev that I've seen before include "Semi-desert area" , "Wilderness" , "Israeli desert area abutting Sinai" , "Desert region in Israel" , "Southern Israeli desert" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
