Kefar Uriyya

Village Before Nakba

The village consisted of two separate clusters of houses that stood on the western slope of a hill; some of the caves nearby, to the north, were also used as dwellings. Ism Allah literally meant "Name of God" in Arabic; the reason for this designation is not known. There was a spring west of the site as well as numerous caves. Secondary roads and dirt paths linked the village to the highways from Gaza and Bayt Jibrin (a major village in the Hebron sub-district) and to the Jerusalem−Jaffa highway. Both the village houses and the entrances that had been attached to the cave dwellings were built of stone. The few families who lived in Khirbat Ism Allah were Muslims. In 1944/45 a total of 485 dunums was allocated to cereals; 3 dunums were irrigated or used for orchards. The village houses stood on the southern edge of a khirba which was an archaeological site; it contained the foundations of walls and a well.

Village Occupation and Ethnic Cleaning

Given the village's location, it may have been captured by the Har'el Brigade on 17−18 July 1948, along with a string of villages on a side road to Jerusalem. These villages were overrun during Operation Dani (see Abu al-Fadl, Ramla sub-district), when Israeli forces widened the corridor they had already forged from the coast to Jerusalem.

Zionists Colonies on Village Lands

In 1944, Zionists established the settlement of Kefar Uriyya (145133) about 1.5 km northwest of the village site, close to, but not on, village land.

Village Today

The caves in the northern part of the site still show evidence of their former use as dwellings; the remains of arched entrances are present. In the southern part of the site, a few ruined houses are surrounded by low stone walls. This area has been recently repopulated by a Jewish shepherd family that renovated and occupied one of the houses. The walled-in area is used as a goat barn, and the entire
