Metzer (Hebrew: מצר‎, lit. Border) is a kibbutz in the Israeli Arab-dominated Triangle area near the Green Line in northern Israel.

The kibbutz was founded on 8 September 1953 by immigrants from Argentina. In November 2002, a Palestinian terrorist infiltrated the kibbutz and murdered 5 people including a mother and her two sons.[1] The perpetrator was killed a year later by the Yamam.
