Almagor (Hebrew: אַלְמָגוֹר) is a moshav in northern Israel.[1][2] Located to the north of the Sea of Galilee, it falls under the jurisdiction of Emek HaYarden Regional Council. In 2006 it had a population of 224.
The village was established in 1961 as a Nahal settlement, before being civilianised in 1965. Its name is derived from a couple of words meaning "lack of fear" (Al meaning "without"; magor meaning "fear"). Prior to the foundation of the moshav, the area had been the site for the Battle of Tel Motila, a clash between Israel and Syria on 2 May 1951. Today a large memorial stands at the site.
