In 2006 it had a population of 774.The kibbutz was established on 6 October 1946 as one of the 11 points in the Negev. It was located near Wadi Nahabir, a few kilometres south of Be'erot Yitzhak.

After Israeli independence in 1948, the kibbutz was moved 3 kilometres south-east to its present location. It has traditionally been one of Israel's wealthiest kibbutzim. However, since the start of the Second Intifada, it has suffered from Qassam rocket attacks and combat near the Israeli Gaza Strip barrier eight kilometers away.Cite news
