History
Al-Ja'una or Ja'ouna, was a Palestinian village situated in Galilee near Hula Valley, overlooking the Jordan Valley. The village lay on a hillside 450–500 meters above sea level, 5 kilometers east of Safed near a major road connecting Safad with Tabariya (Tiberias). The village had its Arab residents expelled by Zionist forces in 1948 and was thereafter resettled by Jews, becoming a part of the Israeli settlement of Rosh Pinna.
