Israeli port known as Joppa in biblical times (5)

I believe the answer is:

jaffa

(Other definitions for jaffa that I've seen before include "Ancient Israeli seaport, now part of Tel Aviv" , "Orange from Israel" , "ball of exceptional quality" , "City in Israel" , "Port incorporated into Tel Aviv" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
