The Tanufa (Momentum) Directorate for the North has transferred NIS 220 million to 23 local authorities along the northern frontline, part of a larger NIS 537 million budget for 2026 development projects, according to N12. The directorate's head, Avia Friedman, said the funds aim to improve quality of life and encourage families to stay in the region.
The Tanufa Directorate for the North, established by the government to oversee post-war recovery and development in northern communities, has allocated NIS 220 million to 23 local authorities designated as 'frontline' communities. The funds are the first tranche of a NIS 537 million budget earmarked for 2026, covering infrastructure, development, and growth projects. Director Avia Friedman stated that the directorate is moving from planning to execution, aiming to translate budgets quickly into tangible improvements. The transfer is part of a broader effort to retain and attract residents to the north amid ongoing security challenges. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the allocation targets 23 councils along the confrontation line.
