Shomron Regional Council

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Shomron Regional Council (Hebrew:מועצה אזורית שומרון) is a regional council in the northern Samarian hills, also known as the northern part of the northern half of the West Bank. The offices of the regional council are located in the Barkan Industrial Park.

During the implementation of Israel's unilateral disengagement plan of August/September 2005, four of the Shomron Regional Council's settlements were evacuated, residential buildings destroyed, and land abandoned to the Palestinians, including territory outlined in the Oslo Accords as Area 'C' in full Israeli control. The Shomron Regional Council had been the largest Israeli regional council until the fall of 2005 when a large part of its municipal land was effectively abandoned.
