Changes

'''Hebron''' was an ancient [[Canaan (land)|Canaanite]] city. [[Abraham]] is mentioned traveling there around 1800 B.C. Conquered by the children of Israel under [[Joshua]] around 1400 B.C., the city became an important part of Judah and is mentioned many times in the [[Bible]].

Today Hebron is in a mostly [[Arab]] section of the [[West Bank]]. [[Israel ]] still maintains control of a small block of Jewish settlers in the city surrounded by over 100,000 Arab neighbors. Today the city has a total of 215,452 inhabitants (2016).The situation in Hebron is often tense and it is one of the cities where violent attacks have taken place in the struggle between [[Palestinian]]s and Israelis.

A number of modern towns also bear the same name, such as towns in the U.S. states of Indiana, Kentucky, Connecticut, and Nebraska. ==External links==* http://scriptures.lds.org/en/biblephotos/5 Photographs of Scriptural Sites: Tombs of the Patriarchs, scriptures.lds.org [[Category:Israeli Citiesand Towns]][[Category:Biblical Places]] {{Bible Cities}}
