History

The village was established in March 1949 by six former Palmach soldiers who had been demobilised at the end of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Located on the sites of the depopulated Palestinian villages of Qadas[2] and al-Malkiyya,[3] it was named after al-Malkiyya, a holdover name from the biblical village of Malkia, itself the name of a priestly family[4] from biblical times (Nehemiah 10:4) that settled here, on whose lands it was established.

gollark: The user agent is stupid and would instead be feature flags.
