At the time of the 1931 census, Yavneel still had exactly the same population of 447; but now it was 56 Muslims and 391 Jews, in a total of 102 houses.
  Hitahdut HaMoshavot BeYehuda VeShomron ("Association of moshavot in Judea and Samaria"), the oldest settlement movement for private farmers in the Land of Israel, was founded in Yavne'el in 1920.
  When three Jewish residents were murdered by Arab rioters on the road between Yavne'el and Beit Gan in 1937 during the country-wide Arab revolt, a new settlement named in their honour, the moshav Mishmar HaShlosha (lit. "Guard of the Three"), was established nearby.
  In the 1945 statistics, Yavneel was home to 590 people, all Jews.
  In 1947 an improvised landing strip in the fields of the moshava was used for landing by a transport airplane bringing Jewish refugees, twice from Baghdad and once from Italy.
