Mikhmoret (Hebrew: מִכְמֹרֶת, מכמורת‎, lit. Fishing net) is a moshav in central Israel. Located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea around nine kilometres north of Netanya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2019 it had a population of 1,403.[1]

History[]

The moshav was founded in 1945 by demobilised soldiers from the British Army, and was named Mikhmoret due to the profession of many of the founders being fishing.[citation needed]

The moshav was founded on the lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of 'Arab al-Nufay'at. Its inhabitants were expelled by an order issued by the Haganah from 10 April 1948.[2]

In 2012 Mikhmoret Beach was listed as one of the best beaches in Israel.[3]

The Israel Nature and Parks Authority established the Sea Turtle Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Moshav Mikhmoret.[4]
