Al-Tall ((アラビア語:التلّ)) was a Palestinian village 14 km northeast of Acre in the British Mandate District of Acre. Depopulated as a result of military assault and capture during the 1947-1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine as part of Operation Operation Ben-Ami by the Carmeli Brigade of the Israel Defense Forces. ==History== The twin villages of Al-Tall and nearby Al-Nahr were both sites of ancient settlements atop the tel of Kabri. Recent excavations indicate habitation back to the eighteenth century BC.〔Aaron Kempinsky, 1987: ''Israel Exploration Journal'' 37:176. Cited in Khalidi, 1992, pp. 27-28〕 In the Ottoman period, a mill was shown here on Pierre Jacotin´s map from 1799.〔Karmon, 1960, p. (160 )〕 In 1875 the French explorer Victor Guérin visited the village, which he called ''Et-Tell''. He described it: "Below the village extend fresh and verdant gardens where the water flows and murmurs incessantly in little canals, and where lofty poplars and great nut-trees, which recall Europe, mingle with the trees of Palestine. Near here is a mill, worked by water falling from a higher basin, which acts as a reservoir for a spring as abundant as that of Ras el 'Ain. After leaving the mill, the water forms a stream which fertilises the adjacent orchards. This raised and broad reservoir, whence the water escapes by an opening made for the purpose in the edge of the reservoir, is of modern construction, as is shown by the stones; but its first building must be ancient, because it is difficult to believe that the ancients should have neglected to get all the advantage possible from so important a spring."〔Guérin, 1880, pp. (31 )-32, as translated by Conder and Kitchener, 1881, SWP I, p. (148 )〕 In 1881 the Palestine Exploration Fund's ''Survey of Western Palestine'' described the village as "A stone and adobe village, containing about 200 Moslems, with figs, olive, pomegranate, and mulberry trees and gardens; there are two streams of water at this village."〔Conder and Kitchener, 1881, SWP I, p. ( 148 )〕 The layout of the village was rectangular. Its houses were built from stone and concrete or from mud.〔Makhul, 1977, p 117. Cited in Khalidi, 1992, p.32〕 In 1944/45, the population of Al-Tall was 300.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Al-Tall, Acre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
