Arab al-Aramshe (Arabic: عرب العرامشة, Hebrew: עַרַבּ אל-עַרָמִשָׁה), officially Aramsha (Hebrew: עַרָמִשָׁה, עראמשה), is a Bedouin village in the Western Galilee in Israel. Located south of the Lebanese border, not far from the Mediterranean coast, the village falls under the jurisdiction of Mateh Asher Regional Council. In 2021 its population was 1,724.[1]

History

Aramshe was founded as a permanent settlement for Bedouins living in the area. The predominant surnames among the population are: Majis, Maz'el, Suidan, and 'Ali.

Over the years, Aramshe residents have experienced attacks. During the 2006 Lebanon War, Fadiya Juma'a (age 60) and her daughters Samira (33) and Sultana (31) were killed by a bomb launched by Hezbollah that fell in the garden of their home in August.

Israel–Hamas war

During the 2023-24 war between Hamas and Israel, northern Israeli border communities, including Arab al-Aramshe, faced targeted attacks by Hezbollah and Palestinian factions based in Lebanon, and were evacuated.[2]
