Ahuzat Naftali

Ahuzat Naftali is a planned Druze town in the Galilee region of Israel. It seeks to relieve the ongoing housing crisis among the Druze in Israel.[1][2]

Its initial settlement will consist of 400 housing units, and the town is expected to house 10,000 people at full capacity.[1] It will fall under the jurisdiction of the Lower Galilee Regional Council, and will be located next to Tiberias and south of Karnei Hittin.[3] Ahuzat Naftali will be the first Druze town built by Israel since its inception, and the first Druze community to be established in what is now Israel for 130 years.[3][4]
