Mishmar HaShiv'a (Hebrew: מִשְׁמַר הַשִּׁבְעָה‎, lit. 'guard of the seven') is a moshav in central Israel. Located near Beit Dagan, it falls under the jurisdiction of Sdot Dan Regional Council. In 2019 it had a population of 1,047.[1]

History[]

The village was founded in 1949 by demobilised soldiers and was named in memory of the seven Notrim who were killed near Yazur on 22 January 1948.[citation needed]

Mishmar HaShiv'a was established on land which had belonged to the Palestinian village of Bayt Dajan, which became depopulated in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.[2]
