Template:Infobox former Arab villages in Palestine
Al-Dalhamiyya (Template:Lang-ar) was a Palestinian Arab village in the Tiberias Subdistrict. It was depopulated during the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on April 15, 1948 under Operation Gideon. It was located 14 km south of Tiberias, on the north bank of the Yarmuk River, on the border between Mandatory Palestine and Transjordan.
History
Ottoman era
In 1838 Al-Dalhamiyya was pointed out to Edward Robinson during his travels in the area, as being located on the eastern bank, about half a mile above the mouth of the Yarmuk.[1]
In 1875 Victor Guérin noted that the houses of the village were built of adobe, and most were surmounted by reed huts.[2] The same year C. R. Conder called it a "miserable" adobe hamlet.[3][4] A population list from about 1887 showed ed Delhamiyeh wa ’Arab el Hanady to have about 650 inhabitants; all Muslims.[5]
British Mandate era
At the time of the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Delhamiyeh had a population of 352; 349 Muslims and 3 Jews,[6] decreasing to 240; 226 Muslims, 1 Jew and 13 Christians, living in 50 houses by the 1931 census.[7]
In 1944/1945, the village had a population of 410; 390 Muslims and 20 Christians,[8] with a total of 2,852 dunams of land.[9] Of this, Arabs used 29 dunams for plantations and irrigable land, 1,709 dunams were used for cereals,[10] while a total of 442 dunams were un-cultivable.[11]
1948, aftermath
in 1992 the village site was described: "The village has been obliterated. There is a banana grove on the site that belongs to the nearby kibbutz, Ashdod Ya'aqov."[12]
