History

It was originally called El Al (Template:Langx), "skyward", the same as Israel's national airline El Al (as an alteration of the name of the Arab village of Al ‘Al = "the high place"), and later renamed Eli Al (Template:Langx), before assuming its current name. It is named[2] in memory of the initially successful Israeli spy Eli Cohen, who was captured and hanged in Syria.[3]
