#holyland #hebron #palestine Hebron (Arabic: الخليل al-Khalīl or الخليل الرحمن al-Khalīl al-Raḥmān;[4] Hebrew: חֶבְרוֹן Ḥevrōn) is a Palestinian[5][6][7][8] city in the southern West Bank, 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of Jerusalem. Nestled in the Judaean Mountains, it lies 930 metres (3,050 ft) above sea level. The second-largest city in the West Bank (after East Jerusalem),[9][10] and the third-largest in the Palestinian territories (after East Jerusalem and Gaza), it has a population of over 215,000 Palestinians (2016),[11] and seven hundred Jewish settlers concentrated on the outskirts of its Old City.[12] It includes the Cave of the Patriarchs, which Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions all designate as the burial site of three key patriarchal/matriarchal couples.[12] The city is often considered one of the four holy cities in Judaism[13][
