From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Gath-hepher
     wine-press of the well, a town of Lower Galilee, about 5 miles
     from Nazareth; the birthplace of Jonah (2 Kings 14:25); the same
     as Gittah-hepher (Josh. 19:13). It has been identified with the
     modern el-Meshed, a village on the top of a rocky hill. Here the
     supposed tomb of Jonah, Neby Yunas, is still pointed out.
