Kever Mokrat
Although both early sources mark Kever Mokrat nearYonason ben Uziel in Amuka, until recently the exact location of Kever Mokrat remained unidentified. Yisroel Meir Gabbai and Ohali Tzadikim created on Tzion right at the edge of the large external parking lot of Kever Yonatan Ben Uziel Amuka a few meters form the street. According to their research and old maps they found this location was marked as the grave of Sheik Machmad El Agami, which is translated as 'Not from this nation', basically meaning this saint was Jewish. It was common practice amongst Muslims living in Israel to preserve the location of Kevrei Tzadikim and start referring to them as one of their own sheiks. Similarly the exact spot of Kever Yonason ben Uziel is refereed to on the map as the grave of Sheik Charav which translates as 'foreign man', also a reference to this saint being Jewish.
