Imwas
Imwas ((アラビア語:عِمواس)) was a Palestinian Arab village located southeast of the city of Ramla and from Jerusalem in the Latrun salient of the West Bank.〔Wareham and Gill, 1998, p. 108.〕 Often identified with the biblical Emmaus, over the course of two millennia, Imwas was intermittently inhabited and was ruled by the Romans (including the Byzantines), Arab caliphates, Crusaders, Ottomans, and the British, as part of the Mandate in Palestine. After the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, Imwas fell under Jordanian occupation. Its population at the time was predominantly Arab Muslim, though there was an Arab Christian minority.
Captured by the Israeli Defense Forces during the Six-Day War on June 7, 1967 along with the neighbouring villages of Yalo and Bayt Nuba, the villagers of Imwas were expelled and the village destroyed on the orders of Yitzhak Rabin. Today the area of the former village lies within Canada Park, which was established by the Jewish National Fund in 1973.
==Etymology==
The name of the town was popularly pronounced by its local inhabitants as 'Imwās. Arabic literary sources indicate the name is also pronounced 'Amwās and 'Amawās, the latter being form transcribed by the Syrian geographer Yakut (1179–1229) drawing from earlier sources.〔Sharon, 1997, p. (79 )〕 At the time of Jerome, when the city was known as Nicopolis, Charles Clermont-Ganneau notes that it was still also known by the Greek forms of 'Ammaôs or 'Emmaus, both beginning with an 'āyin. Moshe Sharon, drawing upon this observation concludes that the Arabic name more faithfully approximates the town's original ancient name when compared against the name as transcribed in the Talmud, where it begins with an 'alef.〔
