This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.Al-Mazar was a Palestinian Arab village located 4 kilometers (2.5 mi) northeast of al-Sarafand.

The village name Mazar, which is Arabic for "shrine", "a place one visits", was probably meant to commemorate the many people who were killed and buried there in the wars against the Crusaders.

"[3] Within days of the IDF's withdrawal, some of the villagers had returned, Arab militants and civilians.

[3][11] The village was permanently depopulated as a result of another IDF military assault in mid-July 1948.

[11] Following the war the area was incorporated into the State of Israel and the kibbutz of Ein Carmel was established partially on al-Mazar's land in 1950.
