Occupation date: 30th of May 1948.
The village has been completely obliterated.
The number of houses were 62, in 1931.
The villagers traced their origins to al-Sa'diyyum
nomads who in turn were descended from al-Shaykh Sa'd al-Din al-Shaybani
(d. 1224), a prominent Sufi mystic from the village of Jaba' in the
Golan Heights, Syria.
The village was the home of al-Shaykh Farhan al-Sadi,
a prominent leader of the 1936 Palestinian revolt.
The village may have been named after the burial
places for many of those who were killed during the decisive battle
of Ayn Jalut (1260) in which the Mamluks of Egypt triumphed over the
Mongols.
Today, the town is just a site with thorns and
cactuses, strewn with stone rubble. We can find almonds trees. The
hilly lands are used as grazing areas.
