North District (Israel)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North District (Hebrew: מחוז הצפון, mehoz hatzafon, also Northern District), is one of six administrative districts in Israel, with a land area of 3,324 km² (3,484 land and water). Including the Golan Heights, 1,154 km², the land total comes to 4,478 km². (4,638 total). The district capital and largest city in the North District is Nazareth.
The Golan Heights has been run as a sub-district of the North District of Israel[1] since the 1981 Golan Heights Law, although its de facto annexation is not internationally recognised, and the non-binding United Nations Security Council Resolution 497 declared the annexation invalid.
