History

edit

The beginnings of the kibbutz were in December 1941, with the formation of a work company near Kiryat Haim by Jewish refugees from Czechoslovakia and Germany.[2] The kibbutz was established in 1952 on the land of a depopulated Palestinian village named al-Tira.[3][4] In 1999, Mount Carmel Naval Base was relocated to here.
