Alon HaGalil (Hebrew: אלון הגליל, lit. 'Oak of the Galilee') is a community settlement in northern Israel. Located in the Lower Galilee, it falls under the jurisdiction of Jezreel Valley Regional Council. In 2024 it had a population of 1,058.[1]
Alon Hagalil was founded in 1980 on land located near the depopulated Palestinian town of Saffuriya, which had previously been a Jewish town in antiquity.[2] Founded as a moshav, it converted to a community settlement in 1986, but remains a member of the Moshavim Movement.
