Bayyarat Hannun

This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.Bayyarat Hannun was a Palestinian agricultural estate in the Tulkarm Subdistrict in Mandatory Palestine.

It was depopulated during "Operation Coastal Clearing" on March 31, 1948, in the 1947–48 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine.

The village developed around a vast agricultural estate, established starting in 1890 by members of the Hannun family from Tulkarm in the lands of Ghabat Kafr Sur.

[1] In the 1931 census of Palestine it was counted with nearby Ghabat Kafr Sur and 'Arab el Balawina, together they had a population of 559; 6 Christians and 553 Muslims, in a total of 128 houses.

Benny Morris provided "fear of being caught up in the fighting" and "Expulsion by Yishuv forces" as reasons for depopulation,[3][5][6] while Rosemarie Esber noted "on-site massacre, atrocities, rape, expulsion by Zionist forces" as reason for depopulation.
