In it had a population of . ==History== The moshav was founded in 19501 by immigrants from India (mainly Cochin) and Iran. Its name is derived from Ayn Ghazal (lit. Deer Spring), the depopulated Palestinian village near which it was built. It is also near the depopulated villages of Khirbat Al-Manara and Khirbat al-Sawamir. Agricultural income is derived from raising cattle, sheep and chickens, growing vegetables and flowers, and tourism. A circular nature trail loops around moshav Ofer, the Paamon Cave and a large section of the Carmel Beach Forest. ==References==
