Merkaz Yael
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Merkaz Yael is a communal settlement in the Ta'anakh region in northern Israel. It belongs to the Gilboa Regional Council.
It was founded in 1960 as part of the program to inhabit the Ta'anakh region. It formed a regional center for the nearby communities Prazon, Avital, and Meitav.
The name "Merkaz Yael" was inspired by Yael, the hero of the battle against Sisera in the Book of Judges. This battle took place in the nearby region.
