The new city of Shira, located east of Rosh HaAyin along Route 5 in western Samaria, has received its official community designation, and construction is set to begin, according to reports. The city, approved by the Israeli government last week (The Zioneer, Sep 4), is planned for 9,500 dunams with tens of thousands of housing units and an estimated 100,000 residents. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich has led the initiative as part of a broader push to expand Israeli communities in Judea and Samaria through large-scale residential development. The designation of an official settlement symbol marks an administrative milestone enabling infrastructure and construction work to proceed.
