Tzova ((ヘブライ語:צוֹבָה)), also Palmach Tzova ((ヘブライ語:פלמ"ח צובה)) is a kibbutz in the Judean Hills, on the outskirts of Jerusalem, Israel.〔http://www.tzuba.org.il/〕 It is under the jurisdiction of the Mateh Yehuda Regional Council. Tzova can also be written as 'Tzuba', 'Tsuba' or 'Zova'. As of September 2014 the population was as follows: * Kibbutz Members : 266 * Candidate members : 19 * Children : 150 * Youngsters aged 18 – 28 (including National Service): 93 * Other residents : 81 * Total : 609 〔Kibbutz Tzuba Newsletter No. 1594, 14.11.2014〕 ==History== Tel Tzova was the site of an ancient Jewish settlement in the days of King David according to 2 Samuel 23:36. According to some scholars it can be dated back even further to the time of Joshua Bin-Nun, based on Joshua 15:59 in the Septuagint. In 1170, a Crusader fortress, Belmont, was built there to guard the route to Jerusalem. Belmont was conquered by Saladin in 1191. The adjacent Arab village of Suba was the scene of fierce fighting during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War due to its strategic location overlooking the road to Jerusalem. In late 1947 and early 1948, irregular forces of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood stationed in Suba repeatedly attacked Jewish traffic on the main highway from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. The village was conquered by the Palmach during the night of July 12–13 as part of Operation Danny. Most of the inhabitants fled before the fighting and did not return. Most moved to Kalandia or Amman, Jordan, although some moved only 1 km away to the nearby village of Ein Rafa - where they and their descendants live to this day as Israeli citizens.〔"Suba - Remembering a Village in the Jerusalem Area." (م. س. م. رومان) written by M.S.M. Rumman published: 2000.〕 In October 1948 a group of Palmach veterans established Kibbutz Misgav Palmach 1 km south of Suba, which was later renamed Palmach Tzova. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tzova」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
