Yad Natan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yad Natan (יד נתן "Hand [of] Nathan" in Hebrew) is a moshav in southern Israel in the Lachish Region, near the town of Qiryat Gat. It is part of the Lachish Regional Council. The moshav was founded in 1953 by Jewish immigrants from Hungary as part of the effort to settle the region. It was named after Otto (Natan in Hebrew) Komoly, a leader of the Zionist movement in Hungary, who was murdered in 1945, apparently for anti-Semitic reasons.
