Ga'aton River
The Ga'aton River is a small river in the Northern District of Israel. It passes through the town of Nahariya before emptying into the Mediterranean Sea. The river runs through the main street of Nahariya, a city that takes its name from the river.History
In Ottoman times, the river was known as Nahr Mefshukh.
The source of this river, formerly known as "the fountain-head of the waters of Ǧiyāto", and which issued from two natural springs: ʻain a-tinah and ʻain al-ʻanqalit, is mentioned in late 2nd century rabbinic writings, and in the Mosaic of Rehob.
