Ma'ale Gamla (Hebrew: מַעֲלֵה גַּמְלָא) is an Israeli settlement and moshav located in the west part of the Golan Heights, under the administration of Israel. It falls under the municipal jurisdiction of Golan Regional Council. In 2022 it had a population of 596.[1]
The international community considers Israeli settlements in the Golan Heights illegal under international law, but the United States and the Israeli government dispute this.[2][3]
History
The moshav was built in 1975 and was named after the ancient town of Gamla, destroyed in the course of the Jewish–Roman war in the 1st century CE, and believed to be the ruin of Tell es Salam, 6km to the west.[4]
