Constantine is a Palestinian village named after a Roman emperor. The Israeli occupation seized it on July 9, 1948, expelled its residents, and established Israeli settlements on it.
The name of the village and the settlement built on its ruins, “Kiryat Malachi,” was mentioned when the Palestinian citizen Fadi Jamjoum - who is from the Shuafat Palestinian refugee camp in the Jerusalem area - opened fire on a group of Israelis at a bus station.
