Canaan (; Phoenician: 𐤊𐤍𐤏𐤍 – Kenāʿn; Hebrew: כְּנַעַן – Kənáʿan, in pausa כְּנָעַן – Kənāʿan; Biblical Greek: Χανααν – Khanaan; Arabic: كَنْعَانُ – Kan‘ān) was a Semitic-speaking civilization and region in the Ancient Near East during the late 2nd millennium BC. Canaan had significant geopolitical importance in the Late Bronze Age Amarna Period (14th century BC) as the area where the spheres of interest of the Egyptian, Hittite, Mitanni and Assyrian Empires converged or overlapped. Much of present-day knowledge about Canaan stems from archaeological excavation in this area at sites such as Tel Hazor, Tel Megiddo, En Esur, and Gezer. The name "Canaan" appears throughout the Bible, where it corresponds to "the Levant", in particular to the areas of the Southern Levant that provide the main settings of the narratives of the Bible: the Land of Israel, Philistia and Phoenicia, among others. The word Canaanites serves as an ethnic catch-all term covering various indigenous populations—both settled and nomadic-pastoral groups—throughout the regions of the southern Levant or Canaan. It is by far the most frequently used ethnic term in the Bible. The Book of Joshua includes Canaanites in a list of nations to exterminate, and scripture elsewhere portrays them as a group which the Israelites had annihilated. Biblical scholar Mark Smith notes that archaeological data suggests "that the Israelite culture largely overlapped with and derived from Canaanite culture... In short, Israelite culture was largely Canaanite in nature.": 13–14  The name "Canaanites" is attested, many centuries later, as the endonym of the people later known to the Ancient Greeks from c. 500 BC as Phoenicians, and after the emigration of some Canaanite-speakers to Carthage (founded in the 9th century BC), was also used as a self-designation by the Punics (as "Chanani") of North Africa during Late Antiquity.

Khirbat Khudash is an archaeological site in the West Bank, located within the Israeli settlement of Beit Aryeh-Ofarim, next to the Palestinian village of Al-Lubban al-Gharbi. It comprises small, planned and fortified site dating to the Iron Age IIB, notable for its numerous oil presses. The site is located today within. It was first identified during a survey of the southwestern Samaria Highlands carried out by David Eitam in the 1970s and was excavated in the 1990s under the supervision of Shimon Riklin. The Iron Age IIB period (late 9th–8th centuries BCE) is considered a time of prosperity in the Northern Kingdom of Israel, which came to an end with the kingdom's destruction in 720 BCE. Khirbat Khudash is located next to Khirbat Banat Barr, which was likely a regional royal Israelite and identified with a biblical town named Zereda, in the territory of the Tribe of Ephraim, mentioned in 1 Kings 11: 26-28. Three other industrial sites from the Iron Age II exist in its vicinity: Qla', Khirbat Deir Daqla and Kurnet Bir et-Tell. The rest of the sites in the region are rural in their nature. The site was likely abandoned some during the Assyrian campaigns against Israel in the 720s BCE. This type of sites was understood by scholars such as Avraham Faust and Haya Katz as local initiatives. Its numerous oil presses suggest that production was intended for large-scale surplus rather than solely for domestic consumption. David Eitam asserts that it was a royal production center, belonging to the Northern Kingdom of Israel, used for international trade.

A walled Jewish settlement name Migdal Aphek (Hebrew: מגדל אפק, lit. 'Tower of Aphek'; Ancient Greek: Αφεχού πύργος) stood at the same site as early as the second century BCE, and it was later destroyed by the Romans during the First Jewish–Roman War in 67 CE. In the Crusader period, a fort named Mirabel was built at the site. During the Islamic period it became known as Majdal Yaba. For a short time under Ottoman rule, its name was changed from Majdal Yaba to Majdal Sadiq and then back again. Incorporated into Mandatory Palestine in 1922, Majdal Yaba was captured by Israeli forces during the 1948 Arab–Israeli war on July 12, 1948. The town was depopulated as a result of the military assault. The number of refugees from Majdal Yaba was estimated at 1,763. The Israeli locality of Rosh HaAyin was established on the village lands in 1950, followed by the kibbutz Givat HaShlosha in 1953.
