Hamat Gader

Hamat Gader (Hebrew: חַמַּת גָּדֵר‎; Aramaic: חמתא דגדר‎‎, Hammata Degader; Ancient Greek: Ἑμμαθά, Emmatha or ῎Αμαθα, Amatha;Arabic: الحمة السورية‎‎ El-Hamma El-Souriya, meaning "The Syrian Hamma") is a hot springs site in the Yarmouk River valley, used since the Classical antiquity. It is located in an area under Israeli control, in what was a demilitarized zone between Israel and Syria from 1949 to 1967. The site is next to the Jordanian border, and about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from the tripoint of Israel, Jordan and Syria. It is set on several mineral springs with temperatures up to 50 °C.

The ancient Hebrew name means hot springs of (the ancient city of) Gadara. The latter is above the springs, in modern Umm Qais. The Arabic name El-Hamma preserves this, and the name of the mound located near the site, Tel Bani, is a corruption of the Latin word meaning "baths".
