Mitzpe Hila, Community settlement in Ma'ale Yosef Regional Council, Israel.

Located at an elevation of 495 meters in northern Israel, Mitzpe Hila extends across the western Galilee hills near the Lebanese border.

Founded in 1980 through the 'Lookouts in the Galilee' initiative, the settlement began with residents occupying prefabricated homes imported from South Africa.

The settlement name changed from its original Mitzpe Ziv, referencing the nearby mountain, to Mitzpe Hila, reflecting the community's evolving identity.

Mitzpe Hila provides accommodation options through local bed and breakfasts and rental cabins, serving visitors to the northern Galilee region.

During the 1990s and 2006 Lebanon War, the settlement experienced direct impacts from Katyusha and Grad rockets fired across the border.
