Yinon
Yinon (Hebrew: יִנּוֹן, lit. 'it shall flourish') is a moshav in southern Israel. Located near Kiryat Malakhi, it falls under the jurisdiction of Be'er Tuvia Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 1,222.
History
The moshav was founded in 1952 by Jewish exodus from Yemen on lands that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Al-Masmiyya al-Kabira. Its name was taken from a passage in the Bible, Psalm 72:17: God's name "shall flourish as long as the sun".
