Barta'a

Barta'a (Hebrew: בַּרְטַּעָה) is an Arab village located in the northern triangle area and Wadi Ara, split by the Green Line separating Israel from the West Bank. This Arab village, which had long suffered from the scourge of division, finally returned to become a symbol of unity and prosperity after the unification of its eastern and western parts under the management of the "Basma Regional Council."
