Tirosh (Hebrew: תִּירוֹשׁ, lit. 'Grape juice') is a moshav in central Israel. Located between Beit Shemesh and Kiryat Malakhi, it falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 452.[1]
History
The village was established in 1955 by Jewish immigrants and refugees from North Africa on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of 'Ajjur.[2]
Its name is derived from the fact that there are many vineyards in the area.
Just outside the village is the reported location of a storage facility for nuclear weapons.[3]
