Arab and Jewish villages

Jewish settlement began in the area in 1913 when Hashomer established Tel Adash, a settlement whose purpose was to protect the oil pipeline from Iraq to Haifa. By 1918, only two families remained.[3]

In 1921 Zionist activists completed a purchase of 22,000 dunams at Tell el-Adas from the Sursuk family of Beirut. At that time, there were 150 Muslim families living there.[4]

In the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Tal Adas had a population of 118; 98 Muslims, 16 Jews and 4 Christians.[5]

1923 moshav

In 1923, a moshav ovdim was established on the site and was named Tel Adashim.[3]
