Tel Rumeida (Arabic: تل رميدة; Hebrew: תל רומיידה), also known as Jabla al-Rahama[1] and referred to by Israeli settlers as Tel Hebron[2][3][4] is an archaeological, agricultural and residential area in the West Bank city of Hebron. Within it, lies a tell whose remains go back to the Chalcolithic period,[5] and is thought to constitute the Canaanite, Israelite and Edomite settlements of Hebron mentioned in the Hebrew Bible and Second Temple period literature.[6][7][8][3][9]
While most of the site's area is used as an agricultural land,[5] it is also the location of a Palestinian neighbourhood[10] and an Israeli settlement.[11][12] The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[13]
