| Abu Kishk District of Jaffa ابو كشْك - ערב אבו כישכ Ethnically cleansed days ago |
Either in December 1947 or January 1948 the leaders of al-Shaykh
Muwannis, al-Mas'udiyya, al-Jammasin,
and the mukhtars of 'Arab Abu Kishk and Ijlil
met with Haganah representative in the house of Avraham Schapira in Petah Tikva
and expressed desire for peace. Despite the commitment of these villages not harbor
any Arab Liberation Armies or local Arab Militia, they were all completely ethnically
cleansed. Early April 1948, village inhabitants were terrorized into fleeing the
village soon after the kidnapping of their village leaders.

According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"A fenced-in military hardware manufacturing complex occupies the site and a large area around it. Outside the fence, on the southeast side of the village site, are the remnants of two houses, one of which had been a private school for the children of al-Sawalima."
