History
The village was founded in 1969 by moshavniks from the Galilee, taking its name from the slopes of Mount Hazon, where it is located. Southeast of the moshav lie the ruins of Hazor, which has remnants from the Iudaea Province era.[2] It was established on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Al-Mansura.[3]
