Avital (Hebrew: אֲבִיטַל) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located ten kilometers south of Afula, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gilboa Regional Council. In 2022 its population was 515.




History


The village was founded in 1953 by immigrants from Iran and Turkey as part of the Moshavim Movement.
Avital is located on land that until 1933 belonged to the Palestinian village of Zir'in.
The name is connected to King David, Avital was one of his wives (2 Samuel 3:4). But tal (eng. dew) reminds also of David's lament in this area: "O mountains of Gilboa, may You have no dew" (2 Samuel 1:21).
