History
::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/28/Historical_map_series_for_the_area_of_Tarbikha_(1870s).jpg" caption="An 1870s map of the area of [[Tarbikha]] from the [[PEF Survey of Palestine"] ::
The moshav was established in 1949 by Jewish immigrants from Hungary and Romania on the site of the Shia village of Tarbikha. Its land had belonged to the Palestinian villages of Iqrit, Suruh and Tarbikha, all of which were depopulated in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. The name reflects the moshav's proximity to the Lebanese border.
The original residents abandoned the village shortly after its foundation, but the following year it was re-established by Jewish immigrants from Morocco.
An Israel Defense Forces armory is located in the moshav.
