Little triangle

During the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, there was another area called 'little triangle', namely the Arab enclave on the Tel Aviv–Haifa road that held out until the first ceasefire. The villages were Jaba'a, Ijzim and Ayn Ghazal. I have a semi-reliable source for this which I'm reluctant to add. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and/or have a source? -- Ynhockey (Talk) 02:57, 31 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

strange claim

"to differentiate it from the larger "Triangle" region between Jenin, Tulkarm, and Nablus, so-called due to the extensive anti-Jewish attacks there during the 1936–1939 Arab revolt"
---How does that make any sense? Why would the name "triangle" result from such attacks? Zerotalk 11:54, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

@Bolter21: do you have any idea why this is called "The Triangle"? I have added a map, and it doesn't look very triangular to me... Is there a name for the cluster of Arab localities in the Northern District? That is a much bigger cluster, and is also much more triangular. Onceinawhile (talk) 12:23, 21 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

There was the "small triangle" (Ijzm, Ayn Ghazel and Jaba') on the coast, and the "large triangle" referred to the area between Nablus, Jenin, and Tulkarm. The Arab settlements transferred from Jordan to Israel were roughly in that region and so the Arab settlements in central Israel and the Wadi Ara region are referred by that name. Jenin-Tulkarm-Nablus are no longer referred to as the "triangle" anymore. For some unknown reason and with no sources, the Triangle (Israel) says that the "little triangle" is near Kafr Qassem, which is not true to my knowledge.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 12:48, 21 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Bolter21: when you say "The Arab settlements transferred from Jordan to Israel were roughly in that region" do you mean the red area in this map to the right? I still can't see a triangle there. The Jerusalem Post even call it the "Galilee Triangle"[1], which is a much better description for the red triangle at the top of this map... Onceinawhile (talk) 12:59, 21 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
The original triangle was the Arab villages of northern Samaria, between Nablus, Jenin and Tulkarm. The term was used by the Hagannah to refer to a large cluster of Arab settlements where the ALA and later Iraqi troops were stationed. The Arab settlements between the area of Kafr Qassem to Umm el Fahm are roughly in that region. They are called the "triangle" while they are really only the western edge of the original triangle. Please appreciate my mad ms.paint skills. I'll maybe make a better map for the article, but I am gonna have to look at sources to back it up so it won't be pure WP:OR. And "Galilee Triangle" is a pretty bad term. It is not used for the two Arab villages in the Jezreel Valley annexed to Israel in 1949 (Muqeible and Sandala, Israel). The connection between the Triangle to the Galilee is a result of geographical ignorance.--Bolter21 (talk to me) 13:13, 21 July 2020 (UTC)Reply
Hi Bolter21, that is a very good diagram – clears it up for the first time. Impressive paint skills if you ask me. Onceinawhile (talk) 13:38, 21 July 2020 (UTC)Reply

 Done Thank you for the suggestion. P1221 (talk) 12:22, 14 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
Perhaps for consistency, can you change "Major localities in the Triangle or "Little Triangle", marked in green." to Major localities in the Triangle or "Little Triangle" are marked in green" (to make it consistent with the second sentence which says "are marked in white".

I think the town Jatt should be added to this article as it is not mentioned.
