Avivim (Template:Lang-he-n), is an Israeli moshav in the far north of Israel, in the Upper Galilee. It is located less than one kilometre (3,000 feet) from the Blue Line with Lebanon, on the lands of the Shiite village Saliha.
History
In 1920, Saliha was designated part of Lebanon under the auspices of the Franco-British Boundary Agreement. It was one of 24 villages transferred to British control in 1924 following the 1923 demarcation of the border between the British Mandate for Palestine and the French Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon.
Under the 1947 United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, Saliha was to be included in the proposed Arab state, while the boundary between it and the proposed Jewish state was to run north of the built-up area of the village. During the 1948 Arab–Israeli war, Saliha was the village was depopulated and many buildings were destroyed, although the elementary school for boys remained standing.
Moshav Avivim was founded in 1958, abandoned, and then re-established in 1963 by immigrants from North Africa, mostly Moroccan Jews.
Arab-Israeli conflict
The moshav's proximity to the Lebanese border has made it a target for terrorist attacks, most notably the Avivim school bus massacre. On May 8, 1970, terrorists from the Palestine Liberation Organization attacked the community school bus, killing nine children and three adults, and injuring 19 others.
Avivim also suffered during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, and was subject to at least one infiltration attempt by Hezbollah. The moshav also came under fire from Hezbollah forces in the nearby village of Maroun al-Ras, across the border in Lebanon.
