History
The moshav was founded in 1950 by immigrants from Romania on land located near the depopulated Palestinian village of Biyar 'Adas.[2] It was initially named Yarkona BeHarhava (Hebrew: ירקונה בהרחבה, lit. 'Yarkona Expansion') before being renamed after Psalm 36:8(9):[3] "You give them drink from Your river of delights."
During the 2026 Iran War, a foreign worker from Thailand was killed on 18 March by shrapnel from a cluster munition on an Iranian missile.[4][5][6]
