Hadid is a moshav located near the Modiin settlement. It was established in 1949 on the lands of the depopulated modern village in the Ramla district. It was founded as a kibbutz by Yemeni Zionist immigrants, later joined by immigrants from Romania. In 1950, it was reorganized to become a moshav affiliated with the Hapoel Hatzair movement.
The site is approximately 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) west of the former Palestinian village site, on the lands of Modern. As of 2021, its population was 913 settlers.
