Village Before NakbaBayt Umm al-Mays was situated in a mountainous area facing northwest, and was bordered by two deep wadis to the northeast and southwest which met just northwest of the village. This combination of high elevation and deep wadis on three sides conferred upon the village a degree of strategic importance. A secondary road linked the village to the Jerusalem−Jaffa highway and to the villages of Suba and al-Qastal. It was known during the Crusader period by the name "Beittelamus." The layout of the village was trapezoidal, and its older houses, which were built of stone, were clustered closely together. The newer houses extended to the southeast, towards the mountain that overlooked the village on the south. Bayt Umm al-Mays was classified during the Mandate era as a hamlet by the Palestine Index Gazetteer. Its inhabitants were Muslim. Potable water was provided by two springs southwest of the village. The agricultural economy was based on the growing of grain and fruit, particularly grapes. Crops were watered by rainfall and irrigated by water drawn from springs. Part of the village land was used as grazing areas for sheep and goats. Most of the agricultural land was south of the village, while vineyards and fruit orchards covered the mountain slopes. In 1944/45 a total of 273 dunums was allotted to cereals; 51 dunums were irrigated or used for orchards. Several khirbas were located near the site.Village Occupation and Ethnic CleaningWhile the circumstances of the occupation of this village are not known, it was almost certainly captured during Operation Ha-Har (see 'Allar, Jerusalem sub-disctrict), the thrust into the southern part of the Jerusalem corridor after the second truce. Israeli historian Benny Morris indicates that it fell on 21 October 1948, probably to the Har'el Brigade.Zionists Colonies on Village LandsThere are no Israeli settlements on village lands.Village TodayThe site is covered with wild grass that grows around the remains of stone terraces. A few almond, olive, and fig trees also grow along the terraces. The dried-out stems of vines can be seen among the grass. The remains of a demolished house, which include fragments of an archway, stand at the northern end of the village; the ruins of another house stand at a short distance from the southern end, near a well. Two caves can be seen in the west. There are two very large stone slabs standing at the southern edge of the site, surrounded by bushes.SourceDr. Walid al-Khalidi, 1992: All That Remains. |
