Elkosh (Hebrew: אֶלְקוֹשׁ) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located near Ma'alot-Tarshiha and the Lebanese border, it falls under the jurisdiction of Ma'ale Yosef Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 275.[1]

History

The village was established in 1949 by immigrants from Yemen on land that had belonged to the Palestinian villages of Dayr al-Qassi and Al-Mansura, both depopulated in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.[2]

It was named after the biblical city of Elkosh, the birthplace of prophet Nahum (Nahum 1:1), which was located in the area.[3] The founders were later joined by more immigrants from Kurdistan.[4]
