HaOn (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />הָאוֹן), is a community settlement on the shore of the Sea of Galilee in northern Israel. Located at the foot of the Golan Heights about a twenty-minute drive from the city of Tiberias, it is part of Emek HaYarden Regional Council.
Until July 2007 it operated as a kibbutz, but debts of 50 million NIS meant that it had to sell its businesses and return land to state ownership.[1]
HaOn runs a spa facing the Sea of Galilee.[2]
On the grounds of HaOn is a memorial to two Turkish pilots who crashed there on February 8, 1914. Two planes of the fledgling Ottoman Air Force took off from Istanbul on a flight to Jerusalem to deliver the first Ottoman air mail but never reached their destination. The memorial is tended by a member of HaOn who investigated the story, planted trees at the site and hosted the commander of the Turkish Air Force.[3]
