This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.Har Gilo (Hebrew: הַר גִּלֹה, lit.
'Mount Gilo'; Arabic: هار جيلو) is an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, organized as a community settlement, located about 2 kilometers west of the Palestinian city of Bethlehem and 5 kilometers south of Jerusalem, in the northern Judean hills.
[7] According to Peace Now, Har Gilo breaks the territorial contiguity of a Palestinian state and its close proximity to Al Walaja and Beit Jala will make it difficult to include within Israel's final boundaries.
[9] Archaeological excavations in 1998 revealed the remains of two buildings and a rock-cut winepress, both dating back to the Iron Age III (586–539 BCE).
Additional pottery shards were indicative of activity at the site from the early Islamic period.
