Jalazone ( _ar. مخيّم الجلزون) is a Palestinian refugee camp in the Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate, located seven kilometers north of Ramallah and adjacent to the village of Jifna. It was established in 1949, following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, on 253 dunams of Jifna's land. After the Oslo Agreements between the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) and Israel, Jalazone's administrative affairs were transferred to the PNA while security matters remained in Israeli control.
