Beit Al-Azari Settlement

Beit Al-Azari is a moshav in central occupied Palestine, located three miles south of the Rehovot settlement. It was established in 1948 by Zionist immigrants from Eastern Europe on the lands of the Palestinian depopulated village of Magar in the Ramla district. Its initial name was Arigot, which was later changed to Akron Hadasha, and finally to Beit Al-Azari in memory of the agricultural pioneer Yitzhak Al-Azari Volcani, founder of modern agriculture in what is called Israel. As of 2019, the settlement's population was 1,568 settlers.   Sources: Due to the scarcity of Arabic sources, we relied on Hebrew sources: the Hebrew website of the settlement / the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics. The village of Magar is referenced from the Palestine in Memory website.
