Al-Wayziyya ((アラビア語:الويزية)) was a Palestinian Arab village in the Safad Subdistrict. It was depopulated during the 1947–48 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on May 1, 1948 by the Palmach's First Battalion of Operation Yiftach. It was located 8.5 km northeast of Safad. In 1945, the village had a population of 100. A shrine for a local sage known as al-Shaykh al-Wayzi was located in the village. ==History== Al-Wayziyya was situated in a volcanic area that sloped towards the al-Hula Plain to the north. The majority of the villagers were Bedouin and were involved in agriculture, primarily animal husbandry.〔Khalidi, 1992, p. 503〕 A road linked the village to a highway leading to Safad and Tiberias. A shrine for a Shaykh al-Wayzi was located about 0.5 km from the site as was a stone quarry.〔 In 1945 the population was 100, with a total of 6,361 dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey.〔Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics. ''Village Statistics, April, 1945.'' Quoted in Hadawi, 1970, p. (70 ).〕 Of this, Arabs used 795 dunums for plantations or irrigable land, 1,623 for cereals;〔Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics. ''Village Statistics, April, 1945.'' Quoted in Hadawi, 1970, p. (120 )〕 while a total of 2,114 dunams was classified as uncultivable.〔Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics. ''Village Statistics, April, 1945.'' Quoted in Hadawi, 1970, p. (170 )〕 During the 1948 war, nearby Mughr al-Khayt was struck by mortars on 2 May, while villages to the north were evacuated earlier because of the threat of the oncoming war.〔 Today there are no Israeli settlements on village lands and the shrine of Shaykh al-Wayzi is the only remaining landmark.〔 Only rubble and grasses and trees remain, although the Zionists established the settlement of Mahanayim in 1939, which is located about 1.5 km southeast of where Al-Wayziyya was located.〔 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-Wayziyya」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
