Road Construction Begins Connecting Homesh and Sa-Nur in Northern Samaria

Infrastructure work and asphalt paving have commenced on a new road intended to connect the northern Samaria communities of Homesh and Sa-Nur. The road will bypass the Palestinian village of Silat al-Harithiya, aiming to create a safe traffic route between the re-established settlements in the area and enhance the security of residents, security forces, and travelers. This development marks a significant step in the return of settlement activity to northern Samaria, following the repeal of the Disengagement Law in the region. The project follows approximately six months of initial route clearing.

Yossi Dagan, Head of the Samaria Regional Council, attended the site and recited a blessing, stating, "Great news. The people of Israel have won! We are correcting the history of the State of Israel. In northern Samaria, there will be hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens. This place is going to become the urban, transportation, and settlement center of the State of Israel. We are winning here together." Dagan expressed gratitude to Defense Minister Israel Katz, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, and other partners involved in advancing the work. He also praised the pioneering families of Sa-Nur and the eight settlements already established in northern Samaria, expressing hope for the establishment of eleven more settlements, bringing the total to nineteen.

The new road is designed to improve the security of residents and forces in the area and facilitate permanent presence in the region. The paving is a crucial phase in developing the infrastructure necessary for this presence.
