Yesud HaMa'ala

**Yesud HaMa'ala** (also known as Ysud HaMa'ala) is a toun in the Northren Destrict o Israel. It wis the first modren Jewish commonty in the Hula Valley. Built in 1882, the commonty wis amang a series o agricultural settlements foondit durin the First Aliyah.  The name o the veelage wis taken frae a sentence in the Bible: "He (Ezra) determined tae go up." (Ezra 7:9), which wis connectit tae the Zionist Aliyah.

## Geografie
In the late 19t century, the Hulah Valley wis maistly swampland an the 15,000 acre (61 km²) shallae Lake Hula. The region wis a well-kent breedin grund for mosquitoes, an as a result concerns aboot malaria restrictit further Jewish settlement in the region for fifty years. As drainage technologie an pesticide uise increased in the 1920s, settlement in the aurie became mair feasible.

## Hula drainage program
Efter the 1948 Arab-Israeli War an the establishment o the state o Israel, the swamp wis drained an convertit intae agricultural laund. Recognisin the unique ecoseestem o the valley an its importance as a stopower for migratin birds, scientists lobbiet for a sma portion o the swamp tae remain as a natur reserve. In 1964, the 800 acre (3.2 km²) Hula Valley Natur Reserve, the kintra's first, wis opened.

## Arab-Israeli conflict
Wi the activation o the National Water Carrier in 1964, Sirie efforts tae disrupt drainage patterns intae the Sea o Galilee wur accompaniet bi attacks against Israeli fermin an fishin activities in the region. Three years later, Sirie forces wur repelled further frae Yesud HaMa'ala wi the captur o the Golan Hichts durin the 1967 Sax-Day War.

On 22 Julie 2006, a series o Katyusha attacks bi Hezbollah struck commonties in the Hulah Valley durin the course o the 2006 Lebanon War. In Yesud HaMa’ala, ane person wis lichtly woondit frae rocket shrapnel. Prior tae the bombins, the commonty haed no seen ony hostile attacks syne the Sax-Day War in 1967. On 29 Julie three rockets hit Yesud HaMa'ala, lichtly woondin a wumman an damagin property.

## Landmarks
Yesud HaMa'ala is hame tae the Dubrovin Ferm, a museum commemoratin the foonders o the commonty, containin personal possessions an furnitur frae 19t century Roushie. Pairt o the museum includes ruins o a synagogue datin atween the 4t an 6t centuries, heichlichtin the historic Jewish claim tae the region.
