History
The village was founded on 27 June 1950 by immigrants from Iraq, and was initially named Lod Bet, but was later renamed Yagel, a name taken from the Book of Psalms 14:7;
Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When the LORD turneth the captivity of His people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad.
