Liman, Israel
settlement in Israel
Liman (Hebrew: לִימַן) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located in the Western Galilee about 5 km (3 mi) north of Nahariya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Asher Regional Council. In 2024 it had a population of 895. Its area is about 2400 dunams and most residents work in agriculture, including chicken raising.
History
The village was founded in 1949 by a group of demobilized soldiers on part of the lands of the former depopulated Palestinian village of al-Bassa. It was originally called Tzahal, but was later renamed "Liman" to honor the American senator Herbert H. Lehman.
The Liman Nature Reserve is located about 1 km (1 mi) north of the settlement, an area of about 50 dunams on a section of the gravel ridge that was preserved.
A 3rd century painted tomb from the Roman period was discovered in the fields of Liman in 1994–1995. The tomb contained two skeletons, bottles, coins and pottery.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Liman, Israel” as settlement in Israel. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as settlement in Israel. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2889456. VIAF identifies the subject as 317132548. Authority coordinates are 33.059, 35.113. 2 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2024, 1949, 1994 and 1995.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
