Arab al-Aramshe (Arabic: عرب العرامشة, Hebrew: עַרַבּ אל-עַרָמִשָׁה), officially Aramsha (Hebrew: עַרָמִשָׁה, עראמשה), is a Bedouin village in the Western Galilee in Israel. Located south of the Lebanese border, not far from the Mediterranean coast, the village falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Asher Regional Council. In 2022 its population was 1,750.[1]
History
[edit]Aramshe was founded as a permanent settlement for Bedouins living in the area. The predominant surnames among the population are: Majis, Maz'el, Suidan, and 'Ali.
Israel–Hezbollah war
[edit]Over the years, Aramshe residents have experienced attacks. During the 2006 Lebanon War, Fadiya Juma'a (age 60) and her daughters Samira (33) and Sultana (31) were killed by a bomb launched by Hezbollah that fell in the garden of their home in August.[2]
During the 2023-24 conflict between Israel and Hezbollah, northern Israeli border communities, including Arab al-Aramshe, faced targeted attacks by Hezbollah and Palestinian factions based in Lebanon, and were evacuated.[3] On April 17 2024, 14 soldiers and 4 civilians were injured when a community center was attacked by two anti-tank missiles and an explosive-laden drone. One of the soldiers succumbed to his injuries four days later.[4]
