Kiryat Bialik
Kiryat Bialik (Hebrew: קִרְייַת בְּיַאלִיק, also Qiryat Bialik) is a city in the Haifa District in Israel. The city was established on July 18, 1934, during the Fifth Aliyah. It is one of the five Krayot suburbs to the north of Haifa. In 2023 it had a population of 46,417.
The city was named after the poet Hayim Nahman Bialik.
In 1924, Ephraim and Sabina Katz, who had immigrated to Mandatory Palestine from the Kingdom of Romania, were the first Jews in modern times to settle in the Zevulun Valley along the Haifa Bay. Their farm was destroyed in the 1929 Palestine riots. The one house that survived the riots, Beit Katz, was bequeathed to Kiryat Bialik in 1959 and designated for public use.
The town of Kiryat Bialik was founded in July 1934 by a group of German Jewish immigrants who had received a plot of land from the Jewish National Fund. The residents were mainly free professionals, doctors, engineers and lawyers who lived in private homes with gardens. During World War II, parts of Kiryat Bialik were bombed due to its proximity to the oil refineries in Haifa.
In 1950, it was declared a local council, attaining city status in 1976.
In the early 1950s, the 'Ir HaMifratz' transit camp (also called 'Cordani A') was established, where among others, about 100 families of immigrants from India were absorbed. The transit camp was annexed to Kiryat Bialik in 1960.
During the Second Lebanon War, several rockets landed in the city, causing property damage and injuring a number of residents.
On September 22, 2024, during a fourth wave of rocket fire from Hezbollah, Kiryat Bialik was hit by rockets, injuring three people and damaging two houses. Magen David Adom (MDA) reported that two men, both in their 70s, and a 16-year-old girl were wounded by shrapnel. One of the men was in moderate condition, while the other two individuals sustained light injuries. All three were transported to Rambam Hospital in Haifa for treatment.
