[2] Located south of Metula on the Naftali Mountains above the Hula Valley and along the Lebanese border, it falls under the jurisdiction of Upper Galilee Regional Council.

[1] Kfar Giladi is also notable for archaeological discoveries such as Neolithic and Chalcolithic findings[3][4] as well as the remains of a Jewish mausoleum dating from Roman times.

During the war between Hamas and Israel, northern Israeli border communities, including Kfar Giladi, faced targeted attacks by Hezbollah and Palestinian factions based in Lebanon, and were evacuated.

[8] On 30 September 2024, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) launched a limited ground invasion into Southern Lebanon.

Built of Galilee stone and materials imported from Lebanon, they are among the few remaining vestiges of early kibbutz housing.

Similar finds were located in a later neolithic stage including a female clay figurine dating between 5800 and 5400 BC.

[11] In 1961, J. Kaplan conducted an excavation at Giv'at ha-Shoqet, a hill located southwest of the built area of Kfar Giladi, and revealed a mausoleum with three burial levels.

The uppermost level, Stratum I, contained an empty sarcophagus inscribed with the Hebrew name Hezekiah, indicating it belonged to a Jewish individual.
