Southern Syria

Southern Syria was an alternative name for Palestine in the Ottoman Empire. It belonged to vilayet (province) of Damascus, which included the sanjaks of Gaza, Nablus, Palmyra, Sidon, Beirut, and Jerusalem.

"Southern Syria" (Arabic Suriyya al-Janubiyya ) was also the name of the newspaper published in Jerusalem beginning in September 1919 by the lawyer Muhammad Hasan al-Budayri, and edited by Aref al-Aref, with participation of Haj Amin al-Husayni.
