Located in the Arabah valley, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hevel Eilot Regional Council.

[1] The village was established in 1984 as a Nahal settlement, with soldiers often living at the site following the end of a combat role and working in nearby kibbutzim.

In the early 1990s, the nearby army base was taken over by a different battalion, which largely operated in the West Bank.

This caused disruption in the day-to-day agricultural activities of the village and it was abandoned by the IDF in 1997, with the site given to kibbutz Ketura.

Attempts to establish a civilian village at the site failed and the settlement was dismantled.
