Tel Rumeida (Template:Lang-he) is the site of a number of Palestinian houses and families as well as a Jewish Israeli settlement and an Israeli military base in the West Bank. According to Ehud Sprinzak, an Israeli counterterrorism specialist and expert in far-right Jewish groups, the hill was settled by "a small number of very radical Jewish families" in the mid-1980s. The most well known resident is Baruch Marzel, a right-wing activist and head of the Jewish National Front, who lives there with his family. The international community considers Israeli settlements in the West Bank illegal under international law, but the Israeli government disputes this.

Some Jewish scholars argue that the tell is the location of biblical Hebron.
