Qubur Bani Isra'il, Archaeological site in West Bank, Palestine.
Four large stone structures stand on a rocky plateau overlooking Wadi Qelt, featuring rectangular walled configurations with central funerary chambers of varying dimensions.
The structures date back to the Middle Bronze Age and were identified by researchers Clermont-Ganneau and Macalister as potential biblical locations mentioned in Samuel 10:2.
The name Qubur Bani Isra'il translates to Tombs of the Children of Israel in Arabic, reflecting the deep connection to ancient burial practices.
The site is accessible via Highway 437 between the towns of Hizma and Geva Binyamin, approximately 3.5 miles northeast of Jerusalem.
The central structure, known as Qaber Um Bene Israin, measures 53 meters in length and reaches heights of up to 6.62 meters.
