Ge'alya

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.

[1] 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.

[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).
