Zemer (Hebrew: זמר; Arabic: زيمر) is an Arab local council in the Center District of Israel. It is located in the Arab Triangle area, between Baqa al-Gharbiyye and Bat Hefer on Road 574. Zemer is the result of a merger of four villages – Yama, Bir al-Sika, Ibtan and Marja - in 1988
History
Potsherds dating from the Hellenistic, Roman and Byzantine era have been found at Ibtan.[3] Yama and Ibtan appeared in Ottoman tax registers compiled in 1596, in the Nahiyas of Qaqun and Jabal Sami, respectively, of the Nablus Liwa. Yama had a population of 18 Muslim households and 5 bachelors, while Ibtan was indicated as empty even though it paid taxes.[4]
In 1882, in the Palestine Exploration Fund's Survey of Western Palestine, only Khurbet Ibthan was noted, with "traces of ruins and a well."[5]
Prior to 1948, all four villages were administratively related to modern-day Palestinian town of Deir al-Ghusun.[6]
Zemer's population at the end of 2009 was 5,700,[1] and its jurisdiction is 8,203 dunams.[7]
