Beit Jala
In 1949, operations in Jerusalem ended; this was because the original location was on the Israeli side the border after the Israeli Declaration of Independence. The post-Israel Talitha Kumi originally operated in Jordanian-controlled territory. The school opened in its current location in Beit Jala in 1961. At the time Beit Jala was a part of Jordan. Israel captured the West Bank from Jordan in the 1967 Six-Day War. Beit Jala went to Palestinian control after 1993.
