The village was established at the beginning of the 1920s by sons of the Arab al-Heib tribe, and was originally named after the family. The current name was adopted in 1968.

There have been tensions between the village and the nearby moshav of Tzippori, with the Bedouins accused of cattle rustling. [ [http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/939403.html New version of old self-defense group guards Jewish farmlands] Haaretz, 28 December 2007]
