Mount Atzmon is the modern Israeli name of a mountain in the Northern District of Israel,[1] identified by some with the ancient Mount Atzmon. Its Arabic name is Jebel Didiba or Jebel Didbeh.
At the foot of the mountain are the Arab town of Kafr Manda,[2][3] and the archaeological site of Jotapata (modern-day Yodfat), where Jewish forces led by Josephus made their last stand against the Romans.[4][5]
