Occupation date: Initially on 9th of July 1948, but the
village exchanged lands several times with Egyptian and Sudanese
soldiers until the second half of October 1948.
The
village was completely obliterated.
Bayt’Affa inhabitants were completely ethnically cleansed. Bayt’
Affa had a shrine for the Arab prophet (al-Nabi) Salih.
The
village had a khirba, which contained the remains of walls made of
uncut stones, a well, and ancient columns.
There are not traces of village houses; only sycamore and carob
trees and cactuses mark the site.
