History

The moshav was established in 1949 by Jewish immigrants from Hungary and Romania on land which had belonged to the Palestinian villages of Iqrit, Suruh and Tarbikha, all of which were depopulated in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.[2] It is located on the border of the lands of Tarbikha and Iqrit.[3] The name name reflects the moshav's proximity to the Lebanese border.[4]

The original residents abandoned the village shortly after its foundation, but the following year it was re-established by Jewish immigrants from Morocco.[4]

An Israel Defense Forces armory is located in the moshav.

gollark: GTech™, of course, perfectly simulates the oracle in order to predict what *it* will do, then does the optimal thing for that.
gollark: There are two boxes in front of you, A and B. B has 10,000 dollars in it, and A contains either 1,000,000 or 0 dollars.You may choose to take either only box A, or take both boxes.A perfect oracle has predicted your choice beforehand, and filled box A with the money if and only if it was predicted that you would take only box A.
gollark: (My model for this is that if I find myself choosing between the boxes, I may be being simulated, so I can "change the past" ish)
gollark: You can't change the past, and given the boxes in front of you the two box option is strictly better.
