History

Bnei Netzarim was founded by settlers from Israeli settlements in the Gaza Strip removed during Israel's 2005 disengagement plan, primarily Netzarim. Some of Netzarim's residents were settled in Yevul following the disengagement and decided to found a new village in the same region.

The first residents started home construction in 2008,[3] and the moshav was officially founded and recognized in 2010.[1]
