History
Hadid was a city of the tribe of Benjamin in Biblical times.[2][3] In the Hellenistic era it was known as 'Adida. Hadid was founded in 1949 as a kibbutz by Yemenite Jewish immigrants, later joined by immigrants from Romania. In 1950, it was reorganized as a moshav affiliated with the Hapoel HaMizrachi movement.[4] The site was about 2km west of the former Palestinian village site and on the land of al-Haditha and the archaeological tel of ancient Hadid (Adida).[5]
According to the Mishnah, the town of Hadid was encompassed by a wall before the Israelite conquest of Canaan under Joshua.[6]
Archaeology
In 2008, an archaeological excavation was conducted by Hagit Torgë at Tel Hadid which yielded scant remains and a building from the Iron Age and the early Persian period.[7]
