==Geography==
The area known as the hills of Samaria is bounded by the [[Jezreel Valley]](north); by the [[Jordan Rift Valley]] (east); by the [[Mount Carmel, Israel|Carmel]] Ridge (northwest); by the [[Sharon plain]] (west); and by the [[Jerusalem]] mountains (south).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Samaria {{!}} historical region, Palestine {{!}} Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Samaria-historical-region-Palestine |access-date=23 March 2022 |website=www.britannica.com |language=en |archive-date=18 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221218101044/https://www.britannica.com/place/Samaria-historical-region-Palestine |url-status=live }}</ref>{{dubious|Changed "Samaria" to "the hills of Samaria", becaause elsewhere it's stated that according to Josephus, a segment of the Jordan Valley, as well as all of Mount Carmel and the Sharon Plain, DID belong to Samaria.|date=June 2018}}

The Samarian hills are not very high, seldom reaching the height of over 800 meters. Samaria's climate is more hospitable than the climate further south.

There is no clear division between the mountains of southern Samaria and northern Judea.<ref name="Britannica" />
