History


Kibbutz Gvar'am was established in 1942 on land owned by Jewish National Fund,[2][3] which had formerly belonged to the Palestinian village of Simsim.[4]

It has been targeted by Hamas rockets for many years. A rocket killed a resident of the kibbutz, who was the mother-in-law of English actor Paul Kaye (who had lived there for a year and met his wife there), in 2008.[5]
