Mishmar HaShlosha (Hebrew: משמר השלושה) (lit. Sentinel of the Three) was a moshav in the eastern part of the Lower Galilee, located in the Yavne'el Valley and adjacent to the moshava Yavne'el.[1][2] Mishmar HaShlosha officially became part of Yavne'el in 1953.

The moshav was founded on 13 April 1937 on lands purchased by the Palestine Jewish Colonization Association. It was a Tower and stockade settlement, established to populate the area between and Yavne'el.[3][4][5]

The village was named for three residents of Yavne'el, Moshe Zalman Ben-Sasson, Yehuda Aliovic and Gedaliah Geller, who on March 14, 1937 walked from Beit Gan towards Yavne'el and were murdered by Arabs on the way.[5]
