Moshav Magshimim

Magshimim is a settlement located in the central part of the occupied Palestinian territories, near the settlement of Yehud. During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Magshimim area belonged to the Lydda subdistrict, which included the area extending from present-day Modi'in–Maccabim–Re'ut in the south to El'ad in the north, and from the eastern foothills across the Lydda plain to the outskirts of Jaffa in the west.

The moshav was established in 1949 by discharged soldiers of the Israeli occupation forces, on lands that had previously belonged to the Palestinian village of al-Abbasiyya, whose residents were displaced during the 1948 war. It was later joined by immigrants from Germany, Iraq, and Poland.

The settlement's population in 2022 was about 1,091 people.
