After the Mamluks took control of the area in the late 13th century, the Mamluk sultan Zahir Baybars defeated the Mongols in the Battle of Ain Jalut at a site just west of what was then Zir'in, where Yizre'el now stands.
The kibbutz was established in August 1948 by demobilisedPalmach soldiers in the remains of the depopulated Palestinian village of Zir'in.[2] In 1950, it moved North-West of the Zir'in village site. It was one of the first kibbutzim to abandon the system of children sleeping in communal houses, instead allowing them to live with their parents.[3]
It was named after the ancient city of Jezreel, which was located in the area allotted to the tribe of Issachar (Joshua 19:18).[4][citation needed]
Economyedit
A major branch of the kibbutz economy is Maytronics, which manufactures a robot swimming pool cleaner exported to over 34 countries. Maytronics also has a division for pool safety, including pool alarms and automatic pool covers.[5][6]
Yizre'el has been a major centre for rugby union in Israel since the 1970s, when a group of local South Africans helped give the national game a major push.[7]
