History
Gonen was established on 13 August 1951 as a Nahal settlement[1] on the land of the Palestinian village of Ghuraba, which had become depopulated in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.[2]
It was civilianised a year later by a group of Hebrew Scouts.[3] It was the first Nahal settlement to convert to civilian control.
Its name is derived from the Book of Kings and symbolized the settlement's strategic location and proximity to the pre-Six-Day War Israel–Syria border, established in the 1949 Armistice Agreements. During the 1949–1967 period, the village's vicinity was the site of numerous skirmishes with the Syrian army.[3]
Since 1994, the kibbutz has been in the process of conversion to a community settlement.[3]
Economy
The economy of Gonen is based upon agriculture, including corn, citrus fruits, and the raising of cattle. There is also a mini-market and a guest house.
