In 1905 JNF purchased lands of the Arab village Hittin (near the Sea of Galilee); the lands were the first ones purchased by JNF. The first attempt to settle in the village was in 1913 by settlers from Degania Aleph, but this attempt failed due to conflicts with the Arab neighbors. In 1923 a second attempt was done by settlers of "HaMizrahi" movement who established the Hittin Workers Moshav.
