Ge'alya, sometimes written Galia (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />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 2007 it had a population of 1,200.
The moshav was founded in 1948 by new immigrants from Bulgaria, on land belonging to the Palestinian village of Qubayba, which was depopulated in 1948.[1]
It is located south of the ancient site of Tel Shalaf, where Iron Age artefacts have been found.[2] Tel Shalaf, is identified by some but not all scholars with the city of Eltekeh.[3] 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).[3][4]
