The Jewish National Fund of Israel has approved a budget of 33 million shekels to support 22 communities in northern Israel, located between two and five kilometers from the Lebanese border. According to the Jerusalem Post, these communities, some of which were evacuated during recent hostilities and had not previously received aid from the organization, will each receive 1.5 million shekels for infrastructure restoration and development. The allocated funds are intended for the modernization and reinforcement of public buildings, including kindergartens, community centers, and dining halls, as well as for the improvement of open spaces. Local residents and community leaders will determine the specific projects. The program includes communities such as Kibbutz Ma'ayan Baruch and Kibbutz Dan in the Upper Galilee Regional Council, as well as Beit Hillel, Ramot Naftali, Liman, Ibn Menachem, Elkos, Goren, Manot, Avdon, Kerem Ben Zimra, and Almog. Other communities in the Mevo'ot HaHermon Regional Council are also part of the initiative. The fund is employing a differentiated support model that considers proximity to the Lebanese border and the extent of damage incurred. Frontline communities may receive between 2.5 and 3 million shekels each. In a subsequent phase, the organization plans to allocate approximately one million shekels to communities situated five to nine kilometers from the border. Fund specialists are scheduled to visit the regions in the coming days to compile a list of projects, with work expected to commence in about a month and a half. The JNF also announced additional investments in northern cities and regional centers, earmarking around 35 million shekels for Tiberias and providing funding for Karmiel, Afula, and Beit She'an.
