History

The moshav was established as a work village in 1950 by immigrants from Yemen on land that had belonged to the Arab village of Saris, which was destroyed in 1948. In 1952 settlement planning authorities decided that the village had been established by mistake and demanded that the settlers vacate. When they refused, the water supply and other services were reduced to motivate the residents to leave.{{Cite web |title= יישוב נמחק מן המפה |url=https://www.nli.org.il/he/newspapers/mar/1955/03/18/01/article/32 |access-date=2023-02-09 |website= Maariv |date=18 March 1955 |language=he}} Although the village closed in 1952, it was re-established in 1959.
