Jubata ez-Zeit (Arabic: جباتا الزيت, Jubātā az-Zayt)[1] was a Syrian village situated in the far north of the Golan Heights. According to an Arab resident of a nearby town, it had a population of around 1,500 to 2,000 people prior to the Six-Day War.[2]

Etymology
Jubata ez-Zeit is an Arabic name that translates into English as "olive oil pit," and refers to the olive trees that grew in the village which remain present today.[3]
History
Towards the end of the Six Day War in June 1967, the area was declared a closed military zone. About half of the residents of Jubat ez-Zeit fled during the fighting. The remaining half were evicted by the Israeli Army after the war.[2] and the village was razed.[4] In the early 1970s, the Israeli settlement of Neve Ativ was built on the site of the former village.[5][6]
Geography
Jubata ez-Zeit was located in a wadi whose name was transcribed by Edward Robinson and Eli Smith as Wady Khǔshābeh during their travels in the region in the mid-19th-century. The wadi extends out to the southwest from the base of the southwestern peak of Jabal esh-Sheikh.[7]
