History
Bir ed-Duwali, Kh. Bir ed-Dawali or Kh. 'Awaad is an archaeological site located on the southwestern slopes of Beitunia, West Bank, just north of Giv'at Ze'ev. Founded in the Hasmonean period, likely under John Hyrcanus, it was a Jewish rural settlement of the Second Temple period, occupied through the Hellenistic and early Roman phases until its destruction in 67 CE during the First Jewish–Roman War; the site was reoccupied in the Late Roman, Byzantine, and Early Islamic periods.
