Abu Kabir (Arabic: أبو كبير) was a satellite village of Jaffa founded by Egypt following Ibrahim Pasha's 1832 defeat of Turkish forces in Ottoman era Palestine. During the 1948 Palestine war, it was mostly abandoned and later destroyed. After Israel's establishment in 1948, the area became part of south Tel Aviv. Officially part of Giv'at Herzl (Hebrew: גבעת הרצל, lit. Herzl's hill),[1] the adjacent Jewish neighborhood, the name Abu Kabir (Hebrew: אבו כביר) continued to be used. Part or all of Abu Kabir was officially renamed Tabitha by the Tel Aviv municipality in 2011.
