Khirbet Beit Jafa

the ruin is located on the southwestern side of the village of Kafr Aboush, about 2.5 km away from it, and about 285 m above sea level.It is considered one of the important archaeological sites in Tulkarm, in which wells, stoney sections, and rock-hewn graves were found in the surveys of western Palestine. It was noted through the surface survey in the area the presence of pottery pieces dating back to the Roman, Byzantine, Mamluk, and Ottoman periods. It is characterized by the presence of human civilization for long periods, as it is believed that the name of the ruin means the house of the community. Many remains can be found around the area. Among them are the remains of the mosque, and the guest house of the village mayor, in addition to some remnants of other buildings spread over the entire hill, whose area is about 40 dunums.The site was likely abandoned at the end of the Ottoman period due to the Qays–Yaman rivalry. The famous narration mentions that many village houses were burned during the conflict, as the people of Jafa took refuge in neighboring villages. Another narration points out that the migration of the place resulted from the earthquake.
