==History==
Kammaneh was founded in the early 19th century when [[Negev Bedouin]]s began to establish permanent settlements in the [[Galilee]]. The Suweid tribe who were one of the first Bedouin tribes to settle in the region found an area atop Mount Kamon (Jabal Kamun) and they named it Kammana or "ambush". They, like most [[Arab]]s in the Galilee depended on agriculture for survival.
In 1963, Israeli authorities declared Kammaneh or Area 9 as a military training zone endangering inhabitants by stray bullets or mortar rounds.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=7x0dxnw7RHAC&dq=kammane+israel&pg=PA172 Palestinian NGOs in Israel: The Politics of Civil Society, Shany Payes]</ref> Two years later the village was declared "unrecognized"  by the [[Israeli Ministry of Interior]] as a part of the Planning and Construction Law.
In 1995 the Kammaneh was officially recognized by the government and was placed under the jurisdiction of Misgav Regional Council. The village consists of six neighborhoods.
In November 2008, the [[Charles Clore|Clore Multi-Purpose Community Center]] was established in Kammaneh. The center offers daytime and after-school activities, a health clinic operated by the [[Clalit]] Health Fund and a well-baby clinic.<ref>[http://clore-foundation.org.il/philanthropic-history/projects-and-events/the-clore-multi-purpose-community-centre-in-the-bedouin-village-of-kamaneh-misgav-regional-council/ Clore Multi-Purpose Community Center]
