Na'ale (Hebrew: נַעֲלֶה‎, lit. Exalted) is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank. Located near Modi'in, it is organised as a community settlement and falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Binyamin Regional Council. In 2019 it had a population of 2,148.

The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[2]

History[]

According to ARIJ, Na'ale is built on land confiscated from the Palestinian towns of Al-Ittihad (Jammala),[3] Deir Qaddis,[4] and Shabtin.[5]

The village was established in 1988 by a group of Israel Aerospace Industries employees.[citation needed]
