JNF Reclaims Land for Settlement
at Ancient City of Yodf at in Galilee
.
YODFAT, Israel — A large village, based mainly on
farming, is to be established in Central Lower Galilee near
the remains of this ancient city. The Jewish National Fund
during recent years acquired land for this settlement and
began to reclaim it. Shown above are members of a kibbutz
comprising young people, most of them high school students
from Haifa, who have occupied the site for several months
forming the nucleus of the new village. At the end of 1961,
the Jewish National Fund completed the reclamation of 43,000
dunams of land at 166 settlement sites (of these, 33 old
established settlements, 128 new settlements and five settle-
meat points intended for future settlement).
