I'm working on a poem inspired by Palestinian's brave resistance to the Zionist regime, and I'm eager to learn some symbolisms in order to express my and your feelings in an accurate and abstract way. I had learnt about the history of Islamic world before, albeit incomplete and not exactly thorough, so I have some basic knowledge on conflicts happened in Morden Age Palestine.

Here are the questions that I want to ask y'all:

1. The River of Jordan is also known as al-Urdunn in Arabic. Is there any story behind this name or the river itself?
2. I've learnt that Mount Nabi Yunis is the highest point in the West Bank. Is it true? Its name of course speak out its religious significance, but I would like to know whether the locals will go for a pilgrimage to the place or held any sort of festival around it.
3. Besides Mount Nabi Yunis, are there any other mountain ranges (or the one that the Mount resides in) or mountains that held significance in political, cultural, or religious sense?
