Mikhmoret

Mikhmoret (Hebrew: מִכְמֹרֶת, מכמורת‎‎, lit. Fishing net) is a moshav in central Israel. Located on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea around nine kilometres north of Netanya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Hefer Valley Regional Council. In 2007 it had a population of 1,100.

The moshav was founded in 1945 by demobilised soldiers from the British Army, and was named Mikhmoret due to the profession of many of the founders being fishing.
