History
The village was established in 1950 on land that had belonged to the depopulated Palestinian village of Arab al-Samniyya by immigrants from Yemen, who were later joined by Jewish immigrants from North Africa and local Bedouin, and was the first mixed Jewish-Bedouin village in the country. It was named after the surrounding forests.

During the 2023–24 conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, northern Israeli border communities including Ya'ara faced targeted attacks by Hezbollah and Palestinian factions based in Lebanon, resulting in their evacuation.
