עין איתמר - עין אל בלד - עין אורה

About
All information about Ein Itamar – Ein al-Balad – Ein Ora: under the Ora settlement, the Ein Itamar spring flows, filling a pool about a meter to a meter and a half deep, which remains especially clear even in the summer. Ein Itamar is a cistern spring (a "spring of a dugout"), and next to it you can see its channel, about 10 meters long. The spring is named after Itamar Doron, of blessed memory, a Breslov Hasid who was murdered here in an attack in 1998, and on the wall behind the spring there is a commemorative plaque in his memory. The spring is sometimes also called Ein Ora, due to its location under the Ora settlement, or by its Arabic name, Ein al-Balad, meaning "the village spring"—like several other springs in the country located in Arab villages. The village to which this name refers is Wolja Village, which was located here until the War of Independence.
