Kiryat Malakhi
Kiryat-Malakhi is a town 10 kilometers south-east of Ashdod. It is named after the prophet Malachi.
But the name of the city has a second meaning. It is translated as "the city of the angels." This name is due to the fact that the construction of his first houses was financed by the Jewish community of another "angels city" - Los Angeles.
The city was founded in 1951. Before this place there was a temporary camp of returnees.
Kiryat Malakhi received the status of the city in 1998.
Half of the city's population consists of immigrants from Asia and Africa, and the rest are natives of Israel and immigrants from Eastern Europe.
