History
According to ARIJ, in order to construct Netiv HaGdud, Israel confiscated land from two nearby Palestinian villages: 215 dunams(215000 m2) from Fasayil,[4] and 993 dunams (993,000 m2) from Al-Auja.[5]
The settlement was established in April 1975 by members who had been preparing in
Jewish legion, which fought in the Jordan Valley during World War I.[2] In May 1977 it moved to its present site.[6]
A nearby archaeological site, which has been excavated by Ofer Bar-Yosef amongst others, has produced remains from the Neolithic era, including Pre-Pottery Neolithic A.[7]
