Jarisha (Arabic: جرِيشة, also transliterated Jerisha; Hebrew: ג'רישה) was a Palestinian Arab village located 200 meters (660 ft) from the ancient site of Tell Jarisha (Tel Gerisa), on the south bank of Al-Awja (Yarkon River).^[5]^[6] After the establishment of Tel Aviv, it was one of five Arab villages to fall within its municipal boundaries.^[4] Jarisha was depopulated in the lead up to the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.^[6]
