History

Yemeni settlers at the ethnically cleansed village of Dayr al-Qassi in July 1949

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 ethnically cleansed in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. Most houses in Dayr al-Qassi were destroyed by the Zionist forces; however, a few houses survived and were seized by Jewish settlers, who lived in them themselves at least until the early 1990s.

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.
