This village will add many more twinkling lights to the Negev horizon, on Israel's border with Egypt.

This morning, the first fifteen families, who had been living temporarily at Moshav K'mehim, will occupy their new homes in Be'er Milka, after the final touches have been put on the village, which was hooked up yesterday to electricity and water utility networks.

Be'er Milka, the 13th village in the Ramat Negev Regional Council, is located in Pitchat Nitzana, on the Egyptian border north of the veteran moshavim of Kadesh Barnea and K'mehin.

The community is planned to contain 100 units, each of which includes a ¼ acre residential lot, with the option of building bed & breakfasts; and 20 acres for agriculture.
