Facts and practical information

Nestled along the border of the Gaza Strip lies Netiv HaAsara, a serene moshav in the Southern District of Israel. Established in 1982, this agricultural community was founded by Israeli settlers who were evacuated from the Sinai Peninsula following the peace treaty with Egypt. Named in memory of the ten fallen soldiers from these families, Netiv HaAsara stands as a symbol of resilience and hope amidst the complex geopolitical landscape of the region.

This moshav is characterized by its close-knit community and its dedication to farming, with residents engaging in a variety of agricultural pursuits. The greenhouses and fields of Netiv HaAsara are abundant with crops, contributing to the agrarian economy of Israel. The community’s commitment to agriculture is not only a means of livelihood but also a form of therapeutic engagement with the land, fostering a strong sense of identity and purpose among its inhabitants.

Despite its proximity to the tense border with Gaza, Netiv HaAsara has become known for its initiatives promoting peace and coexistence. The "Path to Peace" project is one such endeavor, inviting visitors to contribute to a colorful mosaic wall that stands as a beacon of unity and harmony. This wall, facing the Gaza Strip, is adorned with messages of hope and solidarity, written by people from all over the world who wish to see an end to the conflict.

While Netiv HaAsara may not have the bustling tourist attractions of Israel's larger cities, it offers a unique experience for those interested in understanding the complexities of life near a conflict zone. Visitors to the moshav can gain insight into the daily lives of the residents, their agricultural practices, and their unwavering spirit of community.
