This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.Faqqu'a (Arabic: فقوعة) is a village on the northern West Bank, known for its cactus fruits, located along the Green Line on the Gilboa ridge.

Roman coins have been found in the area and there are several sites that are believed to be burial grounds as well as remains of ancient olive oil production.

There is a common belief in local folklore that a Roman settlement once thrived nearby the current village.

The village is located in the most northeastern part of the West Bank, 11 km east of the city of Jenin, adjacent to the Green Line.

The higher part of the range, which is located on the Israeli side, is now an area where people come to hike or to enjoy the blooming of wild flowers during springtime.

There are also patches of small plains scattered around the area that have been utilized to grow different produce such as wheat, lentils in the winter, and vegetables during the summer period.

A traditional Palestinian village is built up by a so-called family-clan structure of a hamula (clan), where social and gender relations are organized around a system of production and re-production.

The ten largest families are; Abu-Salameh, Al-Khateeb, A-Massad, Abu-Farha, Zeidat, Jaludi, Sharafi, Abu-Nassar, Abu-Assaf and Abu-Hussein.

Agriculture had earlier been the prime source of income, but modernisation has seen most families survive by earning their livelihood from other sectors while farming land on afternoons and weekends.

Academics, however, are more likely to find work in neighbouring cities such as Nablus or Ramallah where political and economical life is centred.

[19] The Israeli West Bank barrier in the area of Faqqu'a is a fence system that runs roughly along the Green line, which the village straddles.

A paved road, from the foot of the hill, twists up the hillside to an intersection where residents stand in line to get to the city by taxi.
