The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law, but the United States and the Israeli government dispute this.[2][3]
The moshav was built in 1975 and was named after the ancient town of Gamla, destroyed in the course of the Jewish–Roman war in the 1st century CE, and believed to be the nearby ruin of Tell es Salam.[4]
