The opening as it read in 2025

Hebron (disambiguation) . The Hebron Hills , also known as Mount Hebron ( Arabic : جبل الخليل , romanized : Jabal al-Khalīl , Hebrew : הר חברון , romanized : Har Hevron ), are a mountain ridge , geographic region, and geologic formation, constituting the southern part of the Judean Mountains . The Hebron Hills are located in the southern West Bank . During the Iron Age , the Hebron Hills were part of the Kingdom of Judah , which underwent a forced exile after being conquered by the Babylonians . Subsequently, in the Hellenistic period , an Edomite population migrating to the area became dominant, leading to its being referred to as Idumaea . The Edomites later converted to Judaism and assimilated into the Jewish population. Despite many settlements being destroyed or abandoned due to the brutal suppression of the Bar Kokhva revolt , a Jewish presence persisted in the area. In the Late Roman and Byzantine periods, the Hebron Hills were divided demographically into a Christian northern part and a mixed Jewish-Christian southern area. During this time, the southern Hebron Hills became known as Daroma , meaning "South" in Hebrew and Aramaic . Several synagogues from this period have been unearthed in the region. Following the Muslim conquest of the Levant , the Jewish population in the area declined as Muslims became dominant. In the Ottoman period, Mount Hebron served as a stop for farmers and herders, primarily from the deserts of Arabia and Transjordan , who migrated due to factors like severe drought. Between the 17th and 19th centuries, Mount Hebron experienced extensive violence involving rival families and Bedouins , leading to migrations and the destruction of many villages.
