Peace Forest

Peace forest is a forest in South - Southeast Jerusalem, Israel, between the Abu Tor neighbourhood and the Sherover Promenade.

[citation needed] The Peace Forest was planted on a site identified with the biblical Azal river mentioned in the book of Zechariah (Zechariah 14:5).

There are a number of graves of the Second Temple era found in the Peace Forest, some of which have Hebrew inscriptions on them.

The Peace Forest also contains remains of an aqueduct which supplied Jerusalem with water at a time of the Second Temple.
