Ge'alya, sometimes written Galia (Hebrew: 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. It is located near the ancient site of Tel Shalaf, where Iron Age artefacts have been found,[1] and which is associated with the Biblical city of Eltekeh within the first Dan tribal area (Joshua 19:44).[2]
