Kibbutz Eilon is located a mile south of the Lebanese border and six miles east of the Mediterranean coast. The kibbutz sits on a ridge between two streams, Nahal Betzet and Nahal Kziv. The kibbutz is currently evacuated.
Eilon derives its income from agriculture (bananas, avocado, exotic fruit, cotton); industry (Eshet Eilon manufactures agri-industrial systems to sort vegetables and fruit; Eilon Mosaic manufactures decorative mosaic); and tourism (Keshet Eilon Country Lodging is a guesthouse). A world-renowned violin master course called Keshet Eilon takes place annually in Eilon. Under the musical directorship of Itzhak Rashkovsky, fifty young violinists from around the world spend each summer receiving extensive violin instruction and performing concerts.
