Al-Mazar (Arabic: المزار) was a Palestinian Arab village in the District of Jenin. Situated on Mount Gilboa, its history stretched back to the period of Mamluk rule over Palestine (13th century). An agricultural village, it was depopulated during the 1948 Palestine war, and incorporated into the newly established state of Israel.[5] The Israeli villages of Prazon, Meitav, and Gan Ner were established on al-Mazar's former lands.
