Tel Rumeida (Arabic: تل رميدة; Hebrew: תל רומיידה), also known as Jabla al-Rahama[1] and referred to by Israeli settlers as Tel Hebron[2][3][4] is an archaeological, agricultural and residential area in the West Bank city of Hebron. Within it, lies a tell whose remains go back to the Chalcolithic period,[5] and is thought to constitute the Canaanite, Israelite and Edomite settlements of Hebron mentioned in the Hebrew Bible and Second Temple period literature.[6][7][8][3][9]
While most of the site's area is used as an agricultural land,[5] it is also the location of a Palestinian neighbourhood[10] and an Israeli settlement.[11][12] The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.[13]

Some of the other place names are also disputed. Since Tel Rumeida is the site of ancient Hebron, the settlers refer to it as Tel Hebron, but 'Tel Rumeida' - the name coined by the American archaeologist Philip Hammond, who linked the Arabic name of a nearby mountain, Jebel Rumeida, with the Hebrew word 'tel'- is much more widely used. The settlers call the main road through the centre of the city King David Street or King David's Steps. Everyone else knows it as Shoada Street.
