Morris, 2004, (=392 villages/towns) and Khalidi, 1992, (=418 villages) ends up with different numbers, because:

Notes[edit]

Morris-list, as given by number[edit]

*#55 Safad

It was a bedouin tribe. There is no specific village marked on any map I have though presumably they had an encampment. Zerotalk 11:33, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

*# 98 Tiberias,

101-199[edit]


  • village #116: "Arab al Subeih - C, 19 April, 1948", ???, according to map it is located west of #105 Ma'dhar and #106 Hadatha...and just north of #110Indur...Should be in District of Tiberias ..or Nazareth????
Nazareth subdistrict in the 1931 census (pop 716; quite big). Zerotalk 05:23, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Interesting; Khalidi only gives the four villages for District of Nazareth already in the 48-template, though. Huldra (talk)


  • #126 Beisan -M, C, E, May 1948


No, Census 1931 has both "'Arab ez Zara" and "'Arab Masil el Jizl". I'll check maps later. Zerotalk 05:30, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
It is the name of a bedouin tribe. No precise locality on map, probably not Zaba. Zerotalk 12:25, 16 November 2009 (UTC)


SWP map doesn't have it. It appears on a 1944 map as a ruin. The 1931 census includes it under "suburbs of Shafa 'Amr" without an individual count. Grootkerk p166. It might have been the site of a bedouin encampment, since Morris seems to include them. Many of the "Arab el X" sites are encampments probably. Zerotalk 12:11, 16 November 2009 (UTC)





  • #172 (Arab) Haifa -M, A, 21 -1 April -1 May 1948


201-299[edit]



*226 #Lydda

300-392[edit]







*369 #Beersheba

  • village #370 Nuqeib, Tiberias
  • village #371 Khirbet Sarona??? (Arab al Masharqa) Not known (According to Morris-map:just SW of Sea of Galilee. Probably in Tiberas...possibly in Baysan (or Nazareth))
About 1km SE of Sharona. Zerotalk 12:44, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
