History
The settlement was founded in 1970 as a regional center for the villages in Hevel Eshkol. It was named after a son of Simeon mentioned in Genesis 46:10,[1] as the neighbouring moshav Ohad was named after his brother, mentioned in the same Bible verse. In the 1990s it absorbed many immigrants from Ethiopia and the former Soviet Union, many of whom lived in mobile homes.
On 7 October 2023 Hamas attackers tried to infiltrate the settlement. The security team of Tzohar succeeded in "defending the road to Zohar, the terrorists retreated, leaving behind a dozen of their dead."[2]
