Ge'alya, sometimes written Galia (Hebrew: גְּאַלְיָה), is a moshav in central Israel. Located in the coastal plain and covering 2,000 dunams, it falls under the jurisdiction of Gan Raveh Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 924.[1]

History

[edit]

The moshav was founded in 1948 by immigrants from Bulgaria, on land belonging to the Palestinian village of Qubayba, which was depopulated in 1948.[2]

It is located south of the ancient site of Tel Shalaf, where Iron Age artifacts have been found.[3] Tel Shalaf, is identified by some but not all scholars with the city of Eltekeh.[4] Eltekeh appeared in Sennacherib's Annals as the site of a battle between the Assyrians and Egyptians in 701 BCE, and in the Bible as a Levitical city within the first Dan tribal area (Joshua 19:44 and Joshua 21:23).[4][5]
