Avivim (Template:Lang-he-n), is an Israeli moshav in the far north of Israel, in the Upper Galilee. It is located less than one kilometre (3,000 feet) from the Blue Line with Lebanon, on Palestinian lands of the Shiite village Saliha, abandoned after a massacre carried out by Israeli forces.[2][3]
The Franco-British Boundary Agreement of 1920 placed Saliha within the French mandate of Lebanon border, thus classifying it a part of Lebanese territory. It was one of the 24 villages transferred from the French mandate of Lebanon to British control in 1924 in accordance with the 1923 demarcation of the border between the British Mandate for Palestine and the French Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon. It thus formed part of Palestine until 1948.
Under the 1947 United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, Saliha was to be included in the proposed Arab state, while the boundary between it and the proposed Jewish state was to run north of the built-up area of the village.
During the 1948 Arab–Israeli war, Saliha was the site of a massacre carried out by Israeli forces shortly before the village was completely depopulated. The built structures in the village, with the exception of an elementary school for boys, were also destroyed.
The moshav was founded in 1958, but was abandoned soon afterward. It was re-established in 1963 with immigrants from North Africa, mostly Moroccan Jews.
The moshav's proximity to the Lebanese border has made it a target for terrorist attacks, most notably the Avivim school bus massacre. On May 8, 1970, terrorists from the Palestine Liberation Organization attacked the community school bus, killing nine children and three adults, and injuring 19 others.[4]
Avivim also suffered during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, and was subject to at least one infiltration attempt by Hezbollah.[5] The moshav also came under fire from Hezbollah forces in the nearby village of Maroun al-Ras, across the border in Lebanon.
