Lid was a Palestinian village in the Haifa Subdistrict. It was depopulated during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War on April 9, 1948. It was 32 km southeast of Haifa.
History[]
The Khirbat al-Manatir contained artifacts from the Byzantine period.[5]
Ottoman era[]
In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) found at Ludd "traces of ruins, with a pillar-shaft near a spring."[6]
While surveying for the construction of the Jezreel Valley railway, Gottlieb Schumacher noted in 1900 that Ludd was a "flourishing village" of 46 huts and 200 inhabitants, built up by the Bedouin of the Merj.[7]
British Mandate era[]
In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, the tribal area of Al Awadein had a population of 402 Muslims,[8] increasing in the 1931 census to 451, in 87 houses.[9] In the 1945 statistics it had a population of 640 Muslims,[3] and the total area was 13,572 dunams.[4] Of the land, 103 dunams were used for plantations and irrigable land, 13,063 for cereals,[10] and 52 were built-up (urban) areas.[11]
1948 and aftermath[]
After the war the area was incorporated into the State of Israel. The moshav of HaYogev was established in 1949, west of the village site and partly on village land.[5]
In 1992 the village site was described as "Piles of stones, scattered across the ground near several large eucalyptus and olive trees, are all that remain of the village. There is a newly-built structure over the village well."[5]
