Judea and Samaria (, sometimes abbreviated יו"ש Yosh or ש"י Shai) is one of a number of terms used to describe the area more widely referred to as the West Bank. The geographical area of Samaria roughly corresponds to the territory of the ancient kingdom of Israel with the capital in Shomron (Sebastia), while Judea (also Judaea) corresponds to the kingdom of Judah with the capital in Jerusalem. With the exception of some 80 years of the United Monarchy under David and Solomon, these were two distinct kingdom that on several occasions went to war with each other; therefore, referral them as a unit is entirely modern, dating from the time of Jordanian occupation and annexation of these areas.
The names Judea and Samaria are often used in reference to Israeli settlements in that area, especially by settlers themselves and their supporters.
The use of these names may also serve as a reminder that, prior to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Jewish communities existed there, although these were destroyed or evacuated during the war, or in Hebron's case, during the 1929 riots.
