Jezreel (Tel Yizre'el)

Tel Yizre'el overlooks the Jezreel Valley from a strategic ridge and had a small Crusader castle that belonged to the Templars by the 1180s. The valley was one of the main east-west corridors of the kingdom and was the route Saladin's army took in the summer of 1187 toward the disaster at Hattin.
