South of Ashdot Ya'akov, at the confluence of the Jordan and Yarmouk rivers near the island of Naharayim, there is a memorial for the 7 twelve-year-old Israeli girls murdered by a Jordanian border guard in March 1997.[2]
Archaeologyedit
In 1959, a basalt tombstone inscribed in Greek was found near Ashdot Ya'akov. The tombstone features a rectangular structure with a gabled roof on a trapezoid base, and bears the name Hagarea (Άγαρέα), with its design aligning with classical, Hellenistic and Roman period norms. While the female name's exact origins remains uncertain, it is likely Jewish, potentially linked to the biblical nameHagar, Abraham's concubine.[3]
