History
The moshav was established in 1946 by demobilised soldiers who had received technical training in the British Army. It was named after Basra in Iraq, where the unit was stationed for some time during World War II.[2] By 1947 it had a population of 80.[2] It was redeemed by South African Jewry.[2]
The nearby Arab village of Tabsur was depopulated in April 1948.[3]
