Givat Harsina


Givat Harsina, also Ramat Mamre is an urban Israeli settlement on the outskirts of Hebron, in the Judean Mountains region of the West Bank. It was founded in 1979. The settlement was named after Colonel Aaron Harsina. It was also named Ramat Mamre because of its proximity to Mamre. Wadi al Ghrous is located in the heart of the Baqa'a Valley, a few kilometers east of Hebron City. It is sandwiched between the Israeli settlements Givat Harsina and Kiryat Arba.
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.
