Jabel Mukaber, Jerusalem. This Arab neighborhood is named after Umar ibn al-Khattab, a disciple of Prophet Muhammad. Since 1967, JM is under Israeli control. The green hill in 3P & 4P is known as 'Hill of Evil Counsel'.


2P: Jabel Mukaber is on the slopes of the "Hill of Evil Counsel".
3P: The hill at background is called 'the Hill of Evil Counsel', based on a Byzantine tradition (6th Cent. AD) that it is the place where High Priest Caiaphas and his colleagues decided to arrest Jesus (John 11:47-50).
4P: Hill of Evil Counsel at background.
