Betzet (Hebrew: בֶּצֶת) is a town in the Western Galilee in northern Israel. Located near Shlomi and Nahariya, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Asher Regional Council. Moshav Betzet was founded in 1951 on land formerly belonging to the Palestinian village al-Bassa, which was depopulated during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.[4] The founders were immigrants to Israel from the Balkan states, especially Yugoslavia and Romania. The community retains the name of the ancient village of Betzet, which is estimated to have existed nearby. During the 2023 war between Hamas and Israel, northern Israeli border communities, including Betzet, faced targeted attacks by Hezbollah and Palestinian factions based in Lebanon, and were evacuated.
