History

The village was established in 1981 by evacuees from Sinai.2 In 2005, three quarters of the former residents of Netzarim who were evicted from their village due to Israel's unilateral disengagement plan moved to temporary housing in Yevul while permanent housing is to be planned in the area. In the aftermath of the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, evacuees from Yevul joined survivors of the massacre at Be'eri to take up temporary housing in a hostel near the Dead Sea.3
