Kudna

Kudna (, also known as Kidna) was a Palestinian Arab village on the northwestern slopes of the Hebron hills, about 25 km from Hebron and at an elevation of 250 m above sea level. Its lands covered 15,744 dunams, including olive groves, cereal fields, and pasture grounds. To its west stretched fertile plains known in Arabic as Sahl Ghazāl, while the southern outskirts contained wooded terrain with wild pistachio and carob trees. Natural springs and cisterns provided water, supplemented by seasonal wadis that traversed the area.

==History== Kudna was known to the Crusaders as Kidna. Kudna contains remnants of a fort, the foundations of buildings, previously inhabited caves, and cisterns. About half a dozen khirbas lay in the vicinity. The remains of a fortified building, possibly a hall-house, from the Crusader era is still standing.
