Rockets fall in Shlomi, December 23, 2023/Documentation according to Section 27A of the Copyright Law
Today at noon, the settlement of Shlomi suffered a direct anti-aircraft hit in the house, where there was damage, as well as a woman who was apparently affected by anxiety. Along with the growing damages, the situation of the authorities in the north is deteriorating as the war drags on.
Alas! It was learned that Shlomi has run into a serious cash flow problem, which threatens Its stability.
Following the fighting in the north, the council's revenues dropped by 80%, due to the state's directive to exempt residents who were evacuated from their homes from property taxes, which resulted in a 4.5 million shekel drop in revenues. Alongside this, the collection of property taxes for industry and commerce, which is twice as high as the property tax per resident, dropped sharply From 96% collection to about 50%, which causes another NIS 5.5 million in damage.
Naaman "Had to borrow money to continue standing on our feet"/Yoav Ityel
The State of Israel has already compensated the local authorities for the exemption they granted in property tax, for the months of October until December. But for January - April, they still haven't received compensation and hence the hole is getting deeper.
"With zero income, fixed expenses and large expenses for taking care of my evacuees who are scattered throughout the country," says Gabi Naaman, head of the Shlomi Council, "we were brought to a situation where I don't have money to pay the full salaries this month and had to pay only half of the salaries to 180 employees."
"Even our community center, which is supposed to receive compensation from the state, still hasn't received the money, and I had to transfer 1.4 million to pay them."

Damage caused in Shlomi following the fall of a net last month. "We are in a deficit of 12 million shekels"/documentation on social networks according to Section 27 A of the Copyright Law
Naaman says that he had to borrow money in order to continue to survive: "Currently we are in a deficit of 12 million shekels in total. Because I foresaw the problem, already last month I asked for permission to take a loan of 2.5 million shekels. I came to a situation where I had to borrow money to continue standing on our feet It pains me that Shlomi, which is a stable authority, has found itself in such a situation, because the state does not transfer to it the funds it has committed to. I am tormented to inform the employees that they will not receive their full salary before Passover."
