Even Menahem (Hebrew: אבן מנחם) is an Israeli cooperative agricultural community (moshav) in the Western Galilee, about six kilometres northwest of Ma'alot-Tarshiha, in the Ma'ale Yosef regional council. The moshav is named after Arthur Menachem Hantke, a prominent Zionist leader in pre-war Germany.
Overview
The moshav was founded on September 13 1960 on lands that had formed part of the Palestinian village of Iqrit which had been depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. It mainly accomodated olim from North Africa and is now home to some 300 people. The moshav came under Hezbollah rocket fire several times over its history due to its proximity to the Israel-Lebanon border; most recently it was hit during Hezbollah's diversionary salvo at the opening of the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, as well as during the later rocket and mortar attacks.
