Hadid (Hebrew: חָדִיד) is a moshav in central Israel. Located near Modi'in, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hevel Modi'in Regional Council. In 2019 it had a population of 875.[1]
History[]
According to the Mishnah, the town of Hadid was encompassed by a wall before the Israelite conquest of Canaan under Joshua.[2]
It is not mentioned in the list of the towns of Benjamin in Joshua 18:21–28 but it is named as a city of the tribe of Benjamin in the Second Temple period.[3][4] In the Hellenistic era it was known as 'Adida; Simon Maccabeus was encamped there during his conflict with the Seleucid general Diodotus Tryphon.[5]
Modern Hadid was founded in 1949 as a kibbutz by Yemenite Jewish immigrants, later joined by immigrants from Romania. In 1950, it was reorganized as a moshav affiliated with the Hapoel HaMizrachi movement.[6] The site was about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) west of the former Palestinian village site and on the land of al-Haditha and the archaeological tel of ancient Hadid (Adida).[7]
Archaeology[]
In 2008, an archaeological excavation was conducted by Hagit Torgë at Tel Hadid which yielded scant remains and a building from the Iron Age and the early Persian period.[8]
