History

Gilgal was established in 1970 as a Nahal settlement, and was named for the ancient biblical site of Gilgal.[4] It was converted to a civilian kibbutz in 1973.[5]

According to ARIJ, in order to construct Gilgal, Israel confiscated land in 1970 from two Palestinian villages: 858 dunams from Fasayil,[6] and 268 dunams from Al-Auja.[7]

Economy

Gilgal has invested millions of dollars in state-of-the-art water technology to boost its production of medjool dates. The system is based on the utilization of wastewater.[8]
