Hadid, Moshav settlement in Hevel Modi'in Regional Council, Israel
Hadid is a moshav in the Hevel Modi'in Regional Council, a rural community in central Israel with around 900 residents. The settlement spreads across farmland and residential neighborhoods organized around shared community facilities.
The settlement was founded in 1950 when Yemenite and Romanian immigrants arrived to establish a cooperative farming community. The location connects to ancient times, mentioned in the Mishnah as an inhabited place in antiquity.
Founded in 1950, the settlement integrated Yemenite immigrants and Romanian newcomers, forming a cooperative agricultural community under Hapoel HaMizrachi movement principles.
The settlement operates on the principle of individual farm ownership, with an elected council managing community services. Visitors should expect a traditional rural setting with basic local amenities rather than tourist infrastructure.
Excavations at Tel Hadid in 2008 uncovered structures from the Iron Age and early Persian period. These discoveries link the modern settlement directly to ancient civilizations that lived here thousands of years ago.
