Mitzpe Hila, Community settlement in Ma'ale Yosef Regional Council, Israel.
Mitzpe Hila is a community settlement located in the western Galilee hills of northern Israel near the Lebanese border. The elevation of about 500 meters shapes the local climate and environment of this place.
The settlement was founded in 1980 as part of the Lookouts in Galilee initiative. Early residents moved into prefabricated houses that were brought to the location from elsewhere.
The name refers to geographical features of the surrounding landscape. The community has developed over decades as an independent settlement in the region.
Visitors can find local accommodation options such as bed and breakfast places and rental cabins for their stay. The location in the hills means you should expect hilly terrain and plan your travel routes accordingly.
The location was originally called Mitzpe Ziv, named after a nearby mountain, before it received its current name. This renaming reflects how the community evolved and redefined itself over time.
