Almagor (Hebrew: אַלְמָגוֹר) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located in the Korazim Plateau, to the north of the Sea of Galilee, it falls under the jurisdiction of Emek HaYarden Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 425.
Etymology
The village name is a word combination meaning "lack of fear", al meaning "without", and magor meaning "fear".
History
The village was established in 1961 as a Nahal settlement and was built on land that had formerly belonged to the depopulated Palestinian villages of Al-Butayha and Arab al-Shamalina. 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.
The village was converted to a civilian settlement in 1965.
