History
The kibbutz was founded in August 1948 by members of the Socialist-Zionist youth movement Hashomer Hatzair and Holocaust survivors reviving the land of the village mentioned in the Bible by its ancient name Achzib, evidence of human settlement at the site dates back to the 18th century BCE.
In August 2006, many of the kibbutz residents fled in the wake of Hezbollah rocket fire of up to 60 rockets a day. Kibbutz member David Lelchook was killed by shrapnel from a missile that hit the front yard of his home.[http://info.jpost.com/C002/Supplements/CasualtiesOfWar/2006_08_03_1.html Rocket kills American oleh at Kibbutz Sa’ar] The Jerusalem Post
