Yalo
Yalo (Arabic: يالو, also transliterated Yalu) was a Palestinian Arab village located 13 kilometres southeast of Ramla. Identified by Edward Robinson as the ancient Canaanite and Israelite city of Aijalon, after the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, Jordan formally annexed Yalo along with the rest of the West Bank. Yalo's population increased dramatically owing to an influx of Palestinian refugees from neighbouring towns and villages depopulated during the 1948 war.
During the 1967 war, all the inhabitants of Yalo were expelled by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), the village was destroyed, and Yalo and the entirety of Latrun were annexed from Jordan by Israel. Subsequently, with donations from Canadian benefactors, the Jewish National Fund built a recreational space, Canada Park, which contains the former sites of Yalo and two other neighbouring villages, Dayr Ayyub, and Imwas.
History
The area was under contention in the Middle Ages by Christian and Muslim forces. In the Crusader period, there was a castle here called Castellum Arnaldi or Chastel Arnoul. It was destroyed by Muslims in 1106, rebuilt in 1132–3, controlled by the Templar by 1179 and taken by Saladin in 1187. Some of its ruins are still visible.

Crack One More Smile
by: AllredI wish I was in your soul where you could feel me
And you know I'd always be apart of you
And everything I'd feel and everything I'd be would always start with you
If there were prices to pay
Would you give it away?
This world is so ugly and I've seen enough
Sometimes I'd rather be blind or deaf
But I would keep the sweet sounds of your unmistakable voice
That keeps doing rounds in my head
If there were prices to pay
Would you give it away
We were posing for pictures that were never taken
And I couldn't crack one more smile without breaking down
Without breaking down
Surviving on my second chances
I'm still scraping by on my memories
And I will leave with you embellished words
And fragmented dreams of these things
When there were prices to pay
Would you give it away
We were posing for pictures that were never taken
And I couldn't crack one more smile without breaking down
Without breaking down
Cause I'm lost in photographs with you
Would you give yourself away
We were posing for pictures that were never taken
And I couldn't crack one more smile without breaking down
