Sa'ar (Hebrew: סַעַר, lit. 'Storm') is a kibbutz in the western Galilee in Israel. Located near Nahariya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Asher Regional Council. In 2024 it had a population of 907.[1]
History
[edit]The kibbutz was founded in August 1948 by members of the Socialist-Zionist youth movement Hashomer Hatzair and by Holocaust survivors. The kibbutz site had formerly been part of the village lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of Az-Zeeb, south of the village site.[2][3][4]
In August 2006, many of the kibbutz residents fled in the wake of Hezbollah rocket fire of up to 60 rockets a day. Kibbutz member David Lelchook was killed by shrapnel from a missile that hit the front yard of his home.[5]
Economy
[edit]Bermad Innovative Water Management Solutions, jointly owned with Kibbutz Evron, manufactures automatically activated hydraulic valves used in water, fuel and fire extinguishing systems.[6]
