Jewish National Fund sets aside NIS 100 million for projects in Gaza area towns
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Jewish National Fund announces it’ll set aside NIS 100 million to fund projects in Gaza-adjacent communities.
It says the funds will go toward housing projects, bicycle paths and playgrounds, and restoring damaged forests, among other things.
The decision comes after KKL-JNF’s board of directors met in the southern city of Sderot and toured the border area.
Communities near the Gaza Strip have had to contend for months with the launching of flaming airborne devices from the Palestinian enclave toward Israel as part of the “March of Return” border clashes. The incendiary devices have burned thousands of acres of forest and farmland and caused millions of shekels in estimated damages.
