Al-Qastal was a Palestinian village located eight kilometers west of Jerusalem and named for a Crusader castle once standing on the hilltop. Used during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War as a military base by the Army of the Holy War, virtually all of its residents fled during the fighting and the village was eventually captured by the Palmach. The Kastel is situated 370 metres southwest of Meẖlaf Har’el.
