An analysis by The Zioneer argues that Modiin Illit, the largest Israeli city in Judea and Samaria, has reached approximately 100,000 residents while being built on only 4,070 dunams. The analysis compares this to the small Arab village of Fassuta in the Galilee, which has 3,400 residents on 11,080 dunams, and calls for an immediate doubling of the city's area.
The Zioneer published an analysis on Thursday evening highlighting the density of Modiin Illit, the largest Israeli city in Judea and Samaria. The analysis states that the city has reached approximately 100,000 residents, yet its municipal area is only 4,070 dunams. In contrast, the small Arab village of Fassuta in the Galilee, with 3,400 residents, spans 11,080 dunams, prompting the analysis to call for an immediate doubling of Modiin Illit's area. As The Zioneer previously reported on June 15, Modiin Illit is a major Haredi (ultra-Orthodox) residential and educational hub located midway between Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. The analysis also notes that Modiin Illit is expected to soon surpass its twin city, Modiin, in population.
