Mishmar HaYarden (Hebrew:משמר הירדן,lit. 'Guard of theJordan') is amoshav in northernIsrael. Located in theKorazim Plateau, onHighway 91 betweenMahanayim andGadot, it falls under the jurisdiction ofMevo'ot HaHermon Regional Council. In 2023 it had a population of 934.[1]
Mishmar HaYarden was founded in 1949 on land of the newly depopulatedPalestinian village ofYarda.[2]
Mishmar HaYarden was originally named "Bnei Tzfat" because the founding nucleus supported the people ofSafed (Tzfat) and respected them for planning in the 1870s to establish moshavot in theBashan, including the old Bnei Yehuda. It was later renamed after theMishmar HaYarden moshava, which had been destroyed during the1948 Arab–Israeli War.[citation needed]
