History
The first transit camp (ma'abara) for new Jewish immigrants was set up in 1950 on the lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of Kasla.[2][3] New immigrants from Yemen brought to Israel in Operation Magic Carpet were given farmland there, but abandoned the moshav a few years later to join members of the Yemenite community living in Rosh Ha'ayin. Their place was taken by Jewish immigrants from Morocco.[4]
The moshav was named for the biblical city of Kesalon (Chesalon) mentioned in Script error: No such module "Bibleverse"., which was probably situated on the tel[5] nearby[6] and preserved in the Palestinian name of the place.[7][8]
