This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.Bardala (Arabic: بردلة) is a Palestinian village in the northern Jordan Valley of the West Bank, consisting of 1,607 inhabitants.

[4][dubious – discuss] The main periods of settlement evidenced by archaeological excavation are the Byzantine, Early Islamic, Medieval, Ottoman and Modern ones; Roman-period finds were also present.

[7] On top of the remains of the church, of which the mosaic floor and column bases were excavated, stood a bathhouse from the Early Islamic period.

[4] The residents of Bardala originally came from nearby Tubas to exploit its cultivable and grazing land,[4] and in 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine described the village as "though ruined, is inhabited in spring by peasants from the hill villages, who descend to find pasture and to cultivate melons and other vegetables round the springs.

Archaeologists have discovered evidence of an abundance of ground water resources in the area in ancient times.

[3] Israel placed restrictions on villagers' movements at the same time, rendering access to their lands to cultivate or harvest crops impossible.

[4] Immediately north of Bardala stretches the Green Line which marks the border between the West Bank and Israel, and behind it lies the plain of Beit She'an/Beisan,[4] which connects westwards to the Jezreel Valley.

[4] According to a 1997 census by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the town's residents numbered 1,148, of which 566 were males and 582 were females.
