In the British mandate period the village was classified as a hamlet by the Palestine Index Gazetteer.

[3] During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the village was captured by the Yiftach Brigade in early October, meeting with no resistance.

Although the kibbutz was established in 1946 near the village of Al-Imara, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, it was moved to the site of the former British police station.

These were the houses that belonged to Bedouin families before 1948 and were not considered part of al-Imara.
