A little bit about the city of Ashkelon

History of Ashkelon

More than a thousand years ago, the famous geographer Muhammad al-Muqaddasi wrote about the breathtaking landscapes of Ashkelon and the wonders of the huge plane trees that grew there. “Ashkelon is a wonderful city,” the scholar wrote in his diary.
The inhabitants of Ashkelon, the conquerors, travelers and explorers who visited the city, which played an important role in the ancient history of the East and is considered one of the most ancient cities in the whole world, seem to agree with his description.
Thanks to its unique location next to the Via Maris, an ancient trade route that led from Egypt to Damascus, Ashkelon flourished from the early 19th century BCE. In the 13th century BCE, Ashkelon was conquered by the Philistines, who made it one of their five main cities, thus intertwining its history with that of the hero Samson, Saul, Jonathan and other biblical heroes. King David put an end to Philistine rule, and Ashkelon became an independent city during the time of the Israelite monarchy.

Revival of Culture

During the Hellenistic and Roman periods, Ashkelon's culture was revived. The Jews of Ashkelon survived the Arab conquest after the Mishnaic and Talmudic period; however, their community was destroyed by the Crusaders in 1153. In 1187, Saladin defeated the Crusaders and occupied the city, but it was later destroyed by the notorious Sultan Baybars in 1270, who closed its typical harbor to suppress the future of the city.
Ashkelon remained abandoned until the city of Majdal was founded during the Mamluk period. At the end of the 16th century, Majdal was the sixth largest settlement in Israel. During the Ottoman period and under the British Mandate, Majdal-Asqalan was considered an important regional city, and during the War of Independence, the Egyptian army sent troops to the city with the aim of conquering Tel Aviv and Jerusalem from here.
The Egyptian blockade was lifted by Givati ​​forces in Operation Yoav, and Majdal was captured on November 5, 1948. Jewish settlers quickly arrived in the city to establish Moshav Ovdim (a workers' cooperative settlement). In 1952, South African Jews initiated the establishment of the Afridar neighborhood, from which the new city of Ashkelon grew.

Modern Ashkelon

Ashkelon, the City of Gardens, is located along the southern coast of Israel and is considered the capital of the Ashkelon District. It has recreational and tourist centers and is in a constant development boom. The city has a population of 128,000 and its jurisdiction extends over 55,000 dunams, which is slightly smaller than Tel Aviv, making it one of the largest population centers in Israel. Ashkelon has a national park adjacent to the coast, spacious parks, modern buildings, breathtaking beaches and a high quality of life. All this, combined with an advanced education system from preschool to academic education, a medical center, sports and recreation for children, youth and adults, create a city that offers its residents exceptional benefits.

The city's location between the sea and the edge of the desert provides residents with a comfortable moderate climate throughout the year.

New Families

Ashkelon is one of the oldest cities in the world, with a rich history. Its center is home to ancient monuments, some of the rarest in the world, and green farmland that stretches to the horizon. In the last decade alone, Ashkelon has welcomed more than 40,000 new residents, including immigrants and young families drawn by its quality of life. Thousands of housing units have been built in spacious residential neighborhoods, new preschools and schools have opened, and industrial parks continue to expand.
