History
The village was founded on 27 June 1950 by immigrants from Iraq, and was initially named Lod Bet, but was later renamed Yagel, a name taken from the Book of Psalms 14:7;[2]
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When the LORD turneth the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
It is located on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Kafr 'Ana.[3]
