Metzer (Template:Lang-he-n, lit. Border) is a kibbutz in northern Israel. Located near the Green Line to the north of Baqa al-Gharbiyye, it falls under the jurisdiction of Menashe Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 396.[1]
History
The kibbutz was founded on 8 September 1953 by immigrants from Argentina. In November 2002, a Palestinian terrorist infiltrated the kibbutz and murdered 5 people including a mother and her two sons.[2] The perpetrator, Sirhan Sirhan, was killed a year later by the Yamam.
