History

Netiv HaLamed-Heh was established on 16 August 1949 by demobilised soldiers on land that had belonged to the village of Bayt Nattif.{{cite book|title=All That Remains: The Palestinian Villages Occupied and Depopulated by Israel in 1948|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=_By7AAAAIAAJ|first1=Walid|last1=Khalidi|authorlink=Walid Khalidi|year=1992|location=Washington D.C.|publisher=Institute for Palestine Studies|page=212|ISBN=0-88728-224-5}} The soldiers had been members of the 4th Company of the Palmach's Harel Brigade, and the settlement was initially named Peled (an acronym for Pluga Daled, lit. Daled Company, daled being the 4th letter of the Hebrew alphabet).{{citation needed|date=January 2021}} It was later renamed{{citation needed|date=January 2021}} after the 35 Haganah soldiers killed in a convoy sent to resupply the Gush Etzion kibbutzim during the 1947–48 Civil War (Lamed-Heh is 35 in Hebrew numerals).[http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/judaica/ejud_0002_0015_0_14718.html Netiv Ha-Lamed-He] Jewish Virtual Library
