Watchtower Between the years 1950-1968 the village was a Sefar settlement.
Until 1960, a guard was stationed at night at the top of the tower, the guard, a reservist who was placed at the initiative of the IDF or a member of the moshav. The guards used to turn on the searchlight that was at the top of the tower.
The rotating searchlight was used for signaling and defense observations against infiltrators across the Jordanian border.
