History
The moshav was founded in 1950 by immigrants from Romania. It was established on land that had previously belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Qaqun.[2] It was named after Haniel Ben Afud, a leader of the Tribe of Manasseh (Numbers 34:23).[3]
gollark: There were frequently biter incursions (peaceful mode, but we deployed MUCH artillery) so I frequently had to send in spiderbots to pacify them.
gollark: It's not, because the bots take ages to go anywhere.
gollark: Something like 150k, although only 40k or so were ever active at most.
gollark: Well, there are enough robots that the machines keep fed.
gollark: No trains, no belts, no pipes, *everything* went over robots, with no efficient buffer chests and vast quantities of bots flying everywhere for everything.
