Barta'a (Arabic: برطعة) is an Arab village located in the northern triangle area and Nahal Iron. The Green Line separating Israel and the West Bank splits the village into two parts. Historically, the residents of Barta'a faced challenges related to this bifurcation, impacting their social and economic interactions. In recent years, efforts have been made to reunify the village, facilitating the integration of its eastern and western sections.
