Was this really founded in 1953? Khalidi, 1992, p. 340 writes that "Avital (179218) was build on what were traditionally village (=Zir'in) land in 1933."
@Huldra: It doesn't appear on maps up to 1949 (which show "Landing Ground" there), and it does appear on 1958 and 1962 maps. It does not appear (unless by another name) on a settlement list in the Government Yearbook of 1952, but the list in Encyclopedia of Judaica says 1953. I must copy more of those official lists. I'll guess an interpretation of Khalidi's strange wording: in 1933 it was Zir'in land and later the government expropriated it to build a landing ground. Zerotalk00:02, 18 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
