HaGoshrim

'The Bridge Builders') is a kibbutz in the Galilee Panhandle in northern Israel, 5 km (3 miles) east of Kiryat Shmona.

The kibbutz was established partly on the lands of the former Palestinian village of al-Khisas, which was depopulated and destroyed during the 1948 Palestine war.

[3][4] The kibbutz opened a hotel in the manor house of Emir Faour, chief of the al-Fadel tribe, for whom the villagers worked as tenant farmers.

The kibbutz also owns Mepro, which manufactures carpenters' levels and military optics, and the Epilady company, established in 1986.

[7] Excavations at the Neolithic site of Hagoshrim in 2003 yielded a large assemblage of skeletal fragments, mainly of cattle and pigs, providing evidence of the domestication of these taxa in the southern Levant.
