Prazon ( Hebrew: פְּרָזוֹן) is a moshav in northern Israel. Located in the Ta'anakh region, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gilboa Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 353. [1]
The village was founded in 1953 by immigrants to Israel from Kurdistan on the land of the depopulated Palestinian village of Al-Mazar. [2]
Prazon was the second settlement in the Ta'anakh region after Avital. [3] The name "Prazon" ("rural population") is taken from a verse in chapter 5, verse 7 of the Book of Judges: "The rural population in Israel ceased, until I, Deborah, arose." The story described in Judges took place in the surrounding region.[ citation needed]
The local football club, Hapoel Asi Gilboa, is based in Prazon.[ citation needed]
