Dozens of families, graduates of the Ramat Gan Hesder Yeshiva, are planning to establish a new settlement named "Giv'at Shomron" in the northern Samaria region. The settlement will be located on the site of a former IDF paratrooper brigade training base near Sa-Nur. The initiative is part of the "Connection Plan" promoted by the Samaria Regional Council, the "Amana" organization, and the Settlement Division, which aims to establish 19 new communities in northern Samaria as part of a broader vision to reach one million residents in the area. The plan follows recent government and cabinet decisions, spearheaded by Ministers Israel Katz and Bezalel Smotrich.

A recent tour of the proposed site was attended by dozens of families, Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan, and Rabbi Yehoshua Shapira, head of the Ramat Gan Yeshiva. Dagan presented development plans to the families, emphasizing the opportunity to strengthen settlement and connect northern Samaria to the Jordan Valley and the rest of the country. Rabbi Shapira expressed the deep historical significance of the move, stating, "We have waited thousands of years to reach here," and highlighting the collective effort involved. The core group of families is being organized under the leadership of Rabbi Shapira and Rabbi Zvi Elgazi.
