History

The moshav was founded by the

Jewish Agency in 1983 for evacuees of former Israeli settlements in Sinai after the signing of the Egypt–Israel peace treaty and residents of neighboring moshavim.^[2]

The name is based on the Tilapia fish, called "Amnun" in Hebrew, which lives in the nearby Kinneret lake^[3] (see Galilean comb).

It was founded on the land of the

depopulated Palestinian village of Al-Samakiyya.^[4]
