Eilat is the most southern city in Israel and is a tourist port city.

 

In the past it was called Om-Rashras and in Jewish sources was known as Adom.

 

The occupation of Eilat was completed in 1949, almost without the need to fire a shot.

 

The "flag of the ink" was hoisted in the yard of the police station in Om Rashrash by Abraham Adan.

 

Initially, it served as a military camp and after that, as a civilian settlement from 1952.

 

In 1959 Eilat was proclaimed a city.
