Mal'akhi Junction
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mal'akhi Junction, also known as Qastina (Hebrew: קסטינה) for the Arab village which once stood there, is a major road junction in Israel, between highways 3 and 40.
Like most junctions in Israel, it serves as a major transportation hub. Due to its proximity to Kiryat Mal'akhi, it is also sometimes considered Kiryat Mal'akhi's central bus station (see also: Transportation in Israel).
In addition, the junction is a common stop for Israelis travelling between the north/center of the country (Haifa, Tel Aviv) to the south (Beersheba, Eilat), a fact that helps maintain several fast food and other small stores.
