History[]

The moshav was established in 1967 by moshav residents from the Galilee as part of , designed to strengthen Jewish presence in the Galilee. Its name is symbolic and has a similar meaning to that of nearby Netu'a.[citation needed] Many residents originated from the town of Koy Sanjaq in Iraq and children in the moshav used to learn Koy Sanjaq Jewish Neo-Aramaic.[2]

The moshav is located on the land of the Palestinian villages of Suruh and Tarbikha, which were depopulated in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.[3]

The village was the site of Hezbollah's cross-border raid in the 2006 Lebanon War, in which three Israeli soldiers were killed and two captured.[citation needed]
