History
[edit | edit source]During the 18th and 19th centuries, the area of Magshimim belonged to the Nahiyeh (sub-district) of Lod that encompassed the area of the present-day city of Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut in the south to the present-day city of El'ad in the north, and from the foothills in the east, through the Lod Valley to the outskirts of Jaffa in the west. This area was home to thousands of inhabitants in about 20 villages, who had at their disposal tens of thousands of hectares of prime agricultural land.[2]
The moshav was founded in 1949 by demobilised IDF soldiers on land that had previously belonged to the Palestinian village of Al-'Abbasiyya, which was depopulated in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.[3] They were later joined by immigrants from Germany, Iraq and Poland.[4]
Economy
[edit | edit source]Amongst other things, the moshav's economy is built on flower exports and manufacturing printers.[5]
