For the Syrian city, see Ash-Shaykh Badr.Sheikh Badr (Arabic: شيخ بدر‎, Hebrew: שייח' באדר‎) was a Palestinian Arab village located on a hilltop in west Jerusalem. It was depopulated during the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on the order of the Haganah. From 1948 to 1951, a temporary Jewish cemetery was established here; a few hundred graves still remain from that time. After 1949, the area was incorporated into a new area called Givat Ram.
