History

The moshav was founded in 1950 by Jewish immigrants from Yemen, who were brought to Israel during Operation Magic Carpet, when most Yemenite Jews arrived in the country. The moshav is named for one of the sons of Simeon, son of the patriarch Jacob, as it is located in territory that belonged to the Tribe of Simeon in biblical times (Numbers 26:12).

Yakhini was founded on the lands of the depopulated Palestinian village of Al-Muharraqa. Yakhini is a member of the purchasing agency of the Negev moshavim. The student village in Yakhini houses students from nearby Sapir College.

On 7 October 2023, it was the site of the Yakhini massacre.
