Ein HaShlosha is a kibbutz located in the western Negev Desert. The kibbutz was named in memory of three founding members who were killed during the 1948 War. It was established in 1950 by a Nahal group composed of Zionist youth from South America, on land that belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of al-Ma'in, located in the Gaza District.
According to 2019 statistics, the settlement had a population of approximately 361 settlers. Since the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7, 2023, the kibbutz has been subjected to intensive shelling by the Palestinian resistance.
