Sa Nur
FORMER MILITARY BASE AND OUTPOST - EVAQUATED IN 2005
Sa Nur, just a few kilometers north of Homesh, was a small outpost also evacuated in 2005. The surrounding residents better know it as Tresilla then as Sa-Nur. The original structure was built during the Ottoman period and used as a citadel; it was then used by the British, Jordanian and Israeli occupations as a military base. Unlike other sites we visited, the original structure and architectural edifice was left intact. Internally, the citadel was damaged, but could be easily repaired. A small mosque was also left primarily intact. The historical structure, the flowering plants surrounding the building and the location on a small hill make for a picturesque and unexpected site.
