Netu'a (Hebrew: נְטוּעָה, lit. Planted) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located near the Lebanese border, it falls under the jurisdiction of Ma'ale Yosef Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 323.[1]
History
The village was established in 1966 by residents of other local moshavim as part of a plan to encourage more Jewish settlement in the Galilee. It is located on the land of the Palestinian villages of Dayr al-Qassi and Al-Mansura,[2] both depopulated in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.
