Imwas or Emmaus (Arabic: عِمواس, romanized: ʿImwās), known in classical times as Nicopolis (Ancient Greek: Νικόπολις, lit. 'City of Victory'), is a former Palestinian village ethnically cleansed by Israel, located 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) southeast of the city of Ramla and 26 kilometres (16 mi) from Jerusalem in the Latrun salient of the West Bank. It is traditionally (possibly from as early as the 3rd century, but probably incorrectly) identified with the biblical Emmaus.
