The Northern District Planning and Building Committee approved the Israel Lands Authority's plan for a new neighborhood — 'Rover HaNehalim' — in Kiryat Shmona. The project includes 4,500 housing units, commercial and employment zones, and a large park to absorb the waters of the Iyyon and Senir streams. The neighborhood will connect to the future railway station; the ILA called it a strategic growth engine for the rehabilitation and strengthening of the north.
The Northern District Planning Committee on Monday approved a major housing plan in Kiryat Shmona, a town in Israel's Upper Galilee that has been a focus of post-war reconstruction efforts. The new 'Rover HaNehalim' (Streams District) neighborhood, promoted by the Israel Lands Authority, will add 4,500 residential units alongside commercial and employment areas. A central park is designed to manage floodwater from the Iyyon and Senir streams, and the neighborhood will be linked to the planned railway station. The ILA framed the approval as a strategic step to draw residents and economic activity back to the north, which has seen significant damage and population displacement during the recent conflict with Hezbollah.
