Kiryat Itri

Kiryat Itri (Hebrew: קריית איתרי) is a Haredi neighborhood in Jerusalem.

It is located on the northern edge of the mountain plateau on which central Jerusalem lies.

Its viability was threatened before construction even began, when, in the spring of 1967, it was found that the site abutted a rock quarry to the south in Romema, which bombarded the area with dust and noise from explosions.

[8] The first residents, comprising 85 individuals and 65 families, arrived in Israel from the United States in August 1968.
