History

The moshav was founded in 1955, on the ruins of the Palestinian town al-Dawayima. [2] It was named for King Amaziah of Judah, who, according to the Book of Kings, was killed in the Lakhish region. [3] In the past the community was a moshav shitufi but it has undergone a process of privatization and abandoned its collective nature.[ citation needed ]

In 2006, temporary housing was built in the area of the moshav to absorb evacuees from Katif who lived in Gush Katif until they were evacuated under Israel's unilateral disengagement plan.
