After the Six-Day War in 1967 around 80 Egyptian soldiers were buried in a mass grave in fields tended by kibbutz Nahshon. The field was later turned into a tourist attraction, called "Mini Israel".[2]
In July 2023 the kibbutz was the site of a “festival of democracy”, the destination for a protest march against proposed judicial reforms that started in Tel Aviv and ended in nearby Jerusalem.[3][4]
