Samaritans believe that God sanctified Mount Gerizim (outside modern Nablus) as the holy site for sacrifices, and about half of today's Samaritan community lives in a village on the slopes of Mount Gerizim in the Palestinian territories. The remainder mostly live in suburban Tel Aviv. There are fewer than 1000, and both the Palestinian Authority and Israel are willing to grant passports to the Samaritans, and allow them freedom to travel across the Green line.
