HOLON

A town a little bit to the south of Tel-Aviv, Israel. Started as several separate villages in the 1930's that later united together and became a city. Current population about 180,000.
The H in the name is a sort of hard H (like the H in Hizballah).
The name is derived from "hol" - sand in Hebrew, and was chosen because the whole city is built on sand dunes.
And most important: that's where I live!
