Bedolah was founded as a paramilitary Nahal settlement in 1979, and handed over to civilians in 1986 as an Orthodox agricultural settlement.[2] It was home to 33 settlement's families and a population of 220.[2] Most residents were from a group of children of the Moshavim from the Western Negev and the Tel Mond area.[citation needed] The settlement has also absorbed a group of immigrant families from France.[citation needed]
Its main industry was hothouse crops such as vegetables and flowers.[citation needed]
The residents of Bedolah were forcibly evicted from their homes on August 17, 2005, by the 'blue' brigade manned mostly by the Israeli Air Force personnel.[citation needed]
