History

Israel and Syria fought major battles in the area in 1967 and 1973, and it remains a strategic military position.[6] Neve Ativ was built on the land of the destroyed Syrian village of Jubata ez-Zeit.[7][8] It was founded in 1972, when the Golan region was a part of the Israeli Military Governorate, governed by military occupation system. The name Ativ is an acronym for four fallen soldiers from the Egoz Reconnaissance Unit killed in action in the Golan: Avraham Hameiri, Tuvia Ellinger, Yair Elegarnty, and Binyamin Hadad. Neve means Oasis.

In 1981, the area of Golan was unilaterally annexed by Israel.

In November 1996, a dining room in the settlement was set on fire and the walls on the building had "Down With the Occupation" and "The Golan Belongs to Syria" painted on them. Pro-Syrian Druze were believed to be behind it.[9]
