Hebron (Arabic: File:Loudspeaker.svg الخليل(help·info) al-Ḫalīl or al Khalīl; Hebrew: File:Loudspeaker.svg חֶבְרוֹן(help·info), Standard Hebrew: Ḥevron, Tiberian Hebrew: Ḥeḇrôn), is the largest city in the West Bank, located in the south, 30 kilometers south of Jerusalem. It is home to some 163,000 Palestinians, and over 500 Israeli Jews living in and around the historic Jewish Quarter. Hebron lies 930 meters (3,050 ft) above sea level. Located in the Palestinian territories and the Biblical region of Judea. Since it is the burial site of Abraham and his wife Sarah, Isaac and his wife Rebecca, and Jacob and his wife Leah, the ancestors of the Jewish people, it is the second holiest place in Judaism, next to Jerusalem.
