Pisgat Ze'ev (31°49′N 35°14′E / 31.817°N 35.233°E / 31.817; 35.233; Template:Lang-he), built in the 1990s, is one of the largest neighborhoods in Jerusalem with nearly 40,000 residents. Situated to the east of Shuafat and the south of Neve Yaakov, it is divided into five sections (center, west, east, south, north), and connected to the downtown by a direct freeway, Route 60 . As it is located in territory captured by Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967 (and subsequently annexed), it is considered by Palestinians and others as an Israeli settlement in East Jerusalem. Since the spring of 2004, construction has been proceeding on the Israeli West Bank barrier dividing this and other Jerusalem neighborhoods from the West Bank.

Many of the streets in the central section of Pisgat Ze'ev have names of Israeli army units, which took part in 1948 and 1967 wars. Two of them have numbers instead of names ("Street of the Four," "Street of the Sixteen"), memorializing the number of soldiers who fell in combat in this area during the Israeli War of Independence, the Six-Day War, and other battles for Jerusalem. A memorial listing the names of these fallen soldiers can be found at the Archeological Park in Pisgat Ze'ev-Central.
