Dayshum

This page is subject to the extended confirmed restriction related to the Arab-Israeli conflict.Dayshum (Arabic: ديشوم, romanized: Dayshūm), also known by its variant name Dayshun was a Palestinian village, depopulated on 30 October 1948 by the Sheva Brigade of Israeli paramilitary force Palmach in an offensive called Operation Hiram, where the village has been destroyed, and only house rubble left behind.

The village laid on a hillside overlooking the Wadi Hindaj stream and valley in the Upper Galilee, about 600 meters (2,000 ft) above sea level.

[7] Dayshum was listed in the 1596 (or 1548) Ottoman tax registers as a village in the nahiya (subdistrict) of Jira (part of Safad Sanjak), with a population of 50, all Muslim.

The village houses were situated on the side of a steep hill near the bottom of a valley and had gabled roofs.

[12] In 1921 inspectors from the British Mandatory Department noted a maqam (holy person's shrine) northeast of the village site, dedicated to a Sheikh Haniyya.
