Nahal


Nachal- Noar Halutzi Lohem, in English Fighting Pioneer Youth, normally known as Nahal (Hebrew: נח"ל) is an Israel Defense Forces infantry brigade. Historically, it refers to a program that combines military service and establishment of new agricultural settlements, often in outlying areas. Later, the program branched out into volunteering and social welfare projects.
