Tel Zourob

Palestine

Zoroub Hill (also known as Zurub hilltop) is located on the north-west outskirts of Rafah some 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) north-west from the central al-Ada roundabout. It is the highest point in the Gaza Strip which directly overlooks the Philadelphi Corridor and the border with Egypt. A strategic height at 39 metres (128 ft), Zoroub Hill was captured by IDF tanks on 28 May 2024 during the Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip (2023–present) after a brief gun battle with Hamas.
