==History== thumb|left|Ein Gev - Al Samra - Al Hamma Demilitarized Zone, per the Israel–Syria Mixed Armistice Commission. HaOn was founded in the DMZ, on the ruins of [[Al-Samra.]] The community was established in August 1949 as Nahal outpost near Ein Gev and moved to the permanent location on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of As-Samra in October of that year. The founders of the kibbutz were 120 members of two groups: the Nacham group of Polish immigrants who arrived in Eretz Israel in 1947 and underwent training in Kvutzat Kinneret and a group of immigrants from the Habonim movement in Hungary who immigrated through camps in Cyprus and were trained in Kfar Giladi. A Turkish youth group joined the kibbutz three months after their aliya.
