Gvat or Gevat () is a kibbutz in northern Israel near Migdal HaEmek in the Jezreel Valley. It falls under the jurisdiction of Jezreel Valley Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 670. Gvat is the founder of Plastro, one of the world's largest drip irrigation systems manufacturers. ==History== The kibbutz was established on November 28, 1926 by a group of Fourth Aliyah pioneers from Pinsk, Poland, on the land of the village of Jibta, which had been sold by the Sursock family and their partners to the Zionists.〔 (List of villagers sold by Sursocks and their partners to the Zionists since British Occupation of Palestine ), from the Shaw Commission, 1930〕 In 1922, the first kibbutz members formed a Kvutza in memory of the 35 members of the Jewish community of Pinsk killed by the Polish Army on April 5, 1919 during the Pinsk massacre.〔 〕 The kibbutz was named after Givta, a town located near Tzippori during the period of the Second Temple. In 1931 with the help of the Jewish National Fund and donations from Pinsk's Jewish community, a forest commemorating the victims of the Pinsk massacre was planted near Gvat. The kibbutz was established on classical Zionist-Socialist principles and until today there is no synagogue. Gvat was later joined by adherents of the Poalei Zion movement from Pinsk and its surrounding region, as well as by members of HaHalutz from Poland and Germany.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Communities )〕 In 1951, following the split in The United Kibbutz ((ヘブライ語:הקיבוץ המאוחד), HaKibbutz HaMeuhad) movement, some of Gvat's members left the kibbutz and together with members of Kvutzat HaSharon founded kibbutz Ihud HaSharon - Gvat, later renamed Yif'at〔 in 1952. On October 6, 1973, during the Yom Kippur War, Soviet-made surface-to-surface FROG-7 missiles launched by Syria struck Gvat, presumably aimed at a nearby airfield.〔Netanel Lorch ''One Long War: Arab Versus Jew Since 1920'', Herzl Press, 1976, p.192〕 Despite extensive damage to the buildings, there were no casualties, since the inhabitants had been sleeping in underground shelters. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gvat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
