Kiryat Mal'akhi – Yoav railway station

Kiryat Mal'akhi – Yoav railway station (Hebrew: תחנת רכבת קריית מלאכי – יואב‎) is a railway station under construction in southern Israel, next to Kfar Menahem and Highway 6. It is named after the closest city, Kiryat Mal'akhi, and the adjoining Yoav Regional Council. It is slated to open in 2018.

The station was envisioned as part of the renovation works for the railway to Beersheba,[1] but a budget had not been allocated, so only the station's platforms were originally built.

In 2016, a tender was published for the construction of the station.[2] In 2017, the proposed name was changed from Kfar Menahem to Kiryat Mal'akhi – Yoav, despite it being located 14 km (8.7 mi) from the city.[3]
