Al-Jorah
This fountain is the only structure left of the village of Al-Jorah / Asqalan after the Jews razed it and renamed the place into "Ashqelon" in 1950. The original Arab inhabitants were murdered, and the survivors were packed on trucks and dumped on the border to what is today's Gaza strip, about 10 Km to the south. The ethnic cleansing of this village was done by the Giva'ati unit of the IDF.
Daniel Seaman and his family came to live here in 1971.
