[1] Al-Dimashqi (d.1327) noted one area called Bait-ras in Palestine, and A. F. Mehren thought its description matched the location of the Beit er-Rush of Robinson.

[3] In 1838, a Beit er-Rush was noted by Edward Robinson as a place "in ruins or deserted," part of the area between the mountains and Gaza, but subject to the government of el-Khulil.

Each of these heaps surrounds a cave hollowed in the rock, into which there is a descent of steps, or by an incline.

[8] In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Beit ar-Rush al-Fauqa came under Jordanian rule.
