Exodus Cause Fear of Jewish attack, or of being caught in the fighting
Village Temains al-Jammasin al-Sharqi was mostly destroyed with the exception of few houses, which are currently occupied by Israeli Jewish settlers.
Ethnically Cleansing 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. al-Jammasin al-Sharqi inhabitants were partially intimidated by the Haganah into fleeing their homes on January 7th 1948, and complete ethnic cleansing on March 17th, 1948.

Village Today

According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"Except for somerubble-strewn areas [where castor-oil (ricinus) plants and cypress, fig, and Christ's-thorn trees grow ], the site has been almost entirely engulfed by the expansion of Tel Aviv .Several Arab houses still stand and have been incorporated into the grid of Tel Aviv's streets, along with the newer Jewish commercial and residential buildings."
