Regional Council Alona (Haifa District, Hadera subdistrict) is
situated in SE Mount Carmel region, east to Benyamina. Named after the oak woods in
the area and established in 1953. Pop. 11,000. City hall in
Moshav Amiqam. I spotted a yellow flag with emblem at the city
hall. The municipal emblem was published in the official gazette

Regional Council Alona was established in 1953 in order to
give municipal services to three settlements which were founded
by BETAR and ETZEL members: Amiqam, Avi'el and
Giv'at Nili.

The emblem include an oak tree and a map of Israel-Land as
appeared on National Military Organization (ETZEL, a.k.a Irgun)
emblem in the mandate era (see: <www.etzel.org.il>).
Above them there is a vine (the area is known for many vineyards)
and around it the biblical slogan "Those who sow with tears
will harvest in joy" (Psalms 126:5).
