  Ramla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ramla (Hebrew רמלה Ramlāh; Arabic الرملة ar-Ramlah, colloquial Ramleh), is a city in the Center District of Israel in Israel.
After the First Crusade Ramle became the seat of a seigneury in the Kingdom of Jerusalem (the Lordship of Ramla within the County of Jaffa and Ascalon; see also Vassals of the Kingdom of Jerusalem).
At the start of the Ottoman period, Ramle was described as a large town which lay mostly in ruins, with a small population.

 Lordship of Ramla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lordship of Ramla was one of the vassal states of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
In 1126 Ramla became part of the County of Jaffa, and a separate lordship was created after the revolt of Count Hugh II in 1134, with Baldwin II as lord (although Baldwin I was not a lord in his own right).
Though legally distinct, Ramla in practise merged with the other Ibelin holdings regained after the Third Crusade, and in the mid-13th century it was indistinguishable from the larger County of Jaffa and Ascalon.

 RAMLEH   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Ramla (Arabisch: Ramleh) is een stad in centraal Israël, ongeveer negentien kilometer ten oosten van Tel-Aviv gelegen.
De naam Ramla is afgeleid van het Arabische raml, dat zand betekent, en waarschijnlijk een aanduiding is voor de zandduinen waarop de stad is gebouwd, wat ook door archeologische opgravingen bevestigd lijkt te worden.
Tijdens de kruistochten is er ook fel om de stad gevochten, de kruisvaarders veroverden het in 1099, maar verloren het weer in 1102.

 Cleansing Lydda & Ramla, Zionist Quotes
Upon Lydda's and Ramla's occupation on July 11-12, 1948, the Israelis were surprised to find that over 60,000 Palestinian civilians didn't flee their homes.
It should be noted the Zionist account of this war crime was intentionally suppressed until Yitzhak Rabin reported it in his biography and in a New York Times interview (which was censored in Israel at the time), however, it was later confirmed in the declassified Israeli and Zionist archives.
It should be noted that just before the outbreak of the war in 1948, the residents of the two cities, Lydda and Ramla, constituted close to 20% of the total urban population in central Palestine, including Jewish Tel-Aviv.

 MICROZONING OF THE EARTHQUAKE HAZARD IN ISRAEL   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
An accurate evaluation of the site responses across Ramla and Lod to seismic ground motion, is of prime importance for urban developments, safer design of buildings and to the mitigation of the earthquake risk.
We thus conclude that the current requirements in the Israel standard 413 to design buildings to sustain earthquakes are inappropriate for Ramla and Lod and we provide an improved design spectrum to be applicable for building in Lod and in Ramla.
The shapes of the spectra are significantly different from the one prescribed IS-413, in that IS-413 significantly underestimates the requirements (accelerations) across the period range 0.1 sec to 2.0 sec.
