For other Palestinian towns with a similar name in Salfit Governorate, see Zawiya, West Bank.

Template:Infobox Palestinian Authority muni Az-Zawiya (Arabic: الزاوية; also spelled Zawiyeh) is a Palestinian village in the Jenin Governorate in the northern West Bank, located south of Jenin. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) census, the village had a population of 770 in 2007.[1]

History

Pottery sherds from Early Bronze Age I and II, Iron Age II, Persian, Hellenistic and early Roman have been found here.[2]

Tombs and a columbarium have been cut into the rock, and ceramics from the Byzantine era have also been found here,[3][2] as have sherds from early Muslim and Medieval eras.[2]

Ottoman era

In 1517, Zawiya was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire with the rest of Palestine. In 1596, it appeared in Ottoman tax registers as a village named Zawiyat, or alternatively Sayh Mohammad Rifa'i, in the nahiya (subdistrict) of Jabal Sami in the Nablus Sanjak. It had a population of 12 households, all Muslim.[4]

In 1870, Victor Guérin described as having a small number of houses, situated on a mound.[5]

In 1882, the Palestine Exploration Fund's Survey of Western Palestine described it as: "A hamlet on a hill side, with a well to the west. It seems to take its name from the sudden twist in the road near the place."[6]

British Mandate era

In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Zawieh had a population 45 Muslims,[7] increasing in the 1931 census to 76 Muslim, in a total of 17 houses.[8]

In 1945 statistics the population was 120 Muslims,[9] with 1,066 dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey.[10] Of this, 310 dunams were used for cereals,[11] while 4 dunams were built-up, urban land.[12]

Jordanian era

Following the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and the subsequent 1949 Armistice Agreements, Zawiya came under Jordanian rule.

In 1961, the population of Zawiya was 152.[13]

Israeli occupation

Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Zawiya has been under Israeli occupation, and according to the Israeli census of that year, the population of Zawiya stood at 239, of whom 13 were registered as having come from Israel.[14]

On Saturday 9 January 2016 the owner of a local trading company, Said Abu Al-Wafa (35), was shot dead by Israeli soldiers at the Beka'ot roadblock.[15][16]
