'''Yesud HaMa'ala''' is a [[Local cooncil (Israel)|toun]] in the [[Northren Destrict (Israel)|Northren Destrict]] o [[Israel]]. It wis the first modren Jewish commonty in the [[Hula Valley]].

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 [[:en:National Water Carrier of Israel|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 rocket launcher|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.
