	BBC - h2g2 - Afula, Israel - A647949
		Afula is a small city located in the Jezreel valley in northern Israel.
		Afula's longtime nickname is 'Capital of the Valley', which explains why everything in it, from the hospital to the mall to the falafel joint, is named after the valley.
		Within Israel, Afula is known (somewhat rightfully so) as a boring, dusty place in which it is far from desirable to live, whose inhabitants are close-minded, and all dress and act the same.

	Yehoshua Hankin
		Afula is a small town, we rarely use names of streets, usually say, ‘across from the post-office, near Migdan, on the other side of Kitan,’ but the papers said that the shopping mall was on Yehoshua Hankin street, named for the man responsible for purchasing the lands of Afula.
		The vision for a prosperous Afula, however, only materialized to a small degree, because the kibbutzim and moshavim of the valley rarely used its facilities, (they developed their own or used the services offered in Haifa) except for the regional Kupat Holim hospital which was the first in the country.
		Afula became a station on the narrow-gauge railway built in l905, from Haifa to Damascus, and a second railway laid from Afula to Jenin and Nablus in l913.
