Kokhav Ya'ir-Tzur Yig'al, human settlement in Israel
Kokhav Ya'ir-Tzur Yig'al is a small settlement in central Israel located in a quiet area with natural surroundings. The village features well-maintained streets with homes set back from roads, private gardens, and community gathering spaces positioned throughout the residential layout.
The settlement was founded in the early 1980s when families sought a peaceful location closer to nature. It grew gradually over the following decades with the addition of new homes and community services.
The name references historical figures and the rocky hills surrounding the area. Residents use parks and walking paths as meeting places in their daily life.
The settlement sits near larger towns such as Kfar Saba and Ra'anana, which makes traveling for shopping or work straightforward. Walking trails and open spaces throughout the surrounding area make it easy to explore on foot or by bicycle.
A local basketball team has competed in the national league since 2008, bringing recognition to the small community. The settlement has also attracted several notable residents over its growth years, including former military personnel who entered politics as well as authors and journalists.
