Tel Amal (Hebrew תל עמל ) and Nir David ( ניר דוד, both names are used ) is a kibbutz in the Northern District of Israel west of Beit She'an at the foot of Gilboaberge.

One of the more famous kibbutzim is Tel Amal because he was the first Jewish settlement in Palestine, which was established as a so-called " tower - and - stockade settlement ". On December 10, 1936, it was within a day of prefabricated parts with tower and mounting in order to defend it from the first night easier against hostile Palestinians.
