Lifta (Arabic: لفتا; Hebrew: מי נפתוח Mei Niftoach, lit. spring of; Aramaic for corridor ) was a village on the outskirts of Jerusalem that had existed since Biblical times and was named after Pharaoh Merneptah. It was the northernmost demarcation point of the territory of the Tribe of Judah . The village was depopulated following attacks by the Irgun in December 1947 - February 1948. Now located in Israel, the site of the village, five kilometers west of the Old City of Jerusalem, has been overtaken by the growing city. Its still vacant homes and the spring for which it is named are now a park on the hillside between Highway 1's western entrance into the city and the Romema neighbourhood.
