History

The village was established in 1966 by residents of other local moshavim as part of a plan to encourage more Jewish settlement in the Galilee. It is located on the land of the Palestinian villages of Dayr al-Qassi and Al-Mansura, both depopulated in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.

During the 2023 war between Hamas and Israel, northern Israeli border communities, including Netu'a, faced targeted attacks by Hezbollah and Palestinian factions based in Lebanon, and were evacuated.[1]
