En Gev (Hebrew עין גב, also Ein Gev) is a kibbutz on the east bank of the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel.
background
En Gev is on the eastern shore of the Sea of Galilee at the foot of the Golan Heights; this area still belongs to Israeli national territory.
The place was named in 1937 Tower-and-palisade settlement founded; So it is a settlement that was originally built in prefabricated construction with a watchtower and palisade within a day in order to be armed against possible enemy attacks from the first night.
During the War of Independence, the kibbutz was extremely exposed due to its location on the east bank of the Sea of Galilee and was repeatedly shelled by Syrian units from the Golan Heights, so that for a while the supply had to be entirely by sea - which prompted the local residents to use the lake as their source of income to use. Until the Six Day War, the kibbutz was the northernmost Israeli outpost on the east bank of the Sea of Galilee.
In addition to fishing and agriculture (cultivation of bananas), tourism is now an important branch of the kibbutz; there is a kibbutz hotel right on the lake.
