JABAL NABLUS

Group of low mountains in the Nablus region.

Located about 30 miles (48.3 km) north of Jerusalem, Jabal Nablus forms the northern edge of the Central Highlands that extend south to Hebron (Arabic: al-Khalil). The region, dotted with hillside agricultural villages, has been known particularly for its olives and olive oil soap. For much of the Ottoman era, Jabal Nablus was ruled as part of Damascus province, and dominated for centuries by the Tuqan family. The area became known in Palestinian folklore as Jabal al-Nar (Mountain of Fire) for its resistance to Britain's rule in the mandate period (19221948).
