Al-Zanghariyya

This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.Al-Zanghariyya was a Palestinian Arab village in the Safad Subdistrict.

[1][11] On May 5, 1948, the Haganah "blew up most of the houses and burned the tents of Kedar’ between Tabigha and the Buteiha, where the Jordan enters the sea; some 15 Arabs were killed and the rest fled to Syria.

All day there were explosions, and smoke and fire were visible; in the evening the ‘victors’ returned with trucks loaded with cattle.

Near the remnants of the village houses are stone barriers that form parts of livestock enclosures.

The area serves as pasture for the cattle of the nearby Israeli farm, Kare Deshe, to the southwest.

[16] In one of them, recalling the history of resistance between 1948 and 2000, the last name of almost all of the 35 men (killed, imprisoned, fighters, and so on) is al-Zanghari, the Nisba of the village.
