| | Ashqelon, Israel |
 | | In 1952 Jews from South Africa founded the settlement of Afridar (the present business district) to the east of Migdal, and this developed into the modern town of Ashqelon. |
 | | Ashqelon consists of five districts (Migdal, Givath Zion, Samson, Afridar and Barnea), lying some distance apart. |
 | | To the north of this road, immediately west of the railroad, is the industrial zone, with the terminal of the oil pipeline from Elat, and the former Arab village of Migdal, which was incorporated in the young town of Ashqelon in 1955. |
