Place in Hebron, Mandatory Palestine
Ra'na (Arabic : رعنة ) was a village located approximately 26 km northwest of Hebron . It was occupied by the Israeli army during Operation Yo'av in October 1948. It was one of 16 villages in the Hebron district that were depopulated.
History
[ edit ]
In 1838, during the Ottoman empire , Edward Robinson noted it as Muslim village, located in the Gaza district.[5] He further reported that the fields of Ra'na were planted with tobacco and cotton.[6]
In 1863 Victor Guérin described it as a "village now reduced to a few huts, but that once had been much more considerable, judging by two beautiful wells dug in the rock and by a number of great stones scattered here and there".[7]
An Ottoman village list of about 1870 showed that Ra'na had 8 houses and a population of 30, though the population count included men, only.[8] [9]
In 1882, the PEF 's Survey of Western Palestine described Ra'na as a village built of stone and adobe , and it had a pool and gardens.[10]
In 1896 the population of Ra'na was estimated to be about 99 persons.[11]
British Mandate era
[ edit ]
Ra'na was classified as hamlet by the Palestine Index Gazetteer .[12] In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities , Ra'ana had a population of 126 inhabitants, all Muslims,[13] increasing in the 1931 census to 150, still all Muslim, in a total of 36 inhabited houses.[14]
In 1945 statistics the population of Ra'na was 190, all Muslims.[2] [3] In 1944/45 a total of 5,882 dunums of land was planted with cereals , while 112 dunums were irrigated or used for orchards. Grain was the dominant crop, but during the final year of the British Mandate of Palestine , the villagers also grew grapes , carob and olives.[12] [15] 14 dunams were classified as built-up (urban) areas.[16]
The kibbutz of Gal On was established in 1946 on what had traditionally been village land.[12]

1948, and after
[ edit ]
The village was attacked by the Giv'ati Brigade on 22–23 October 1948. Those villagers who had not already fled were expelled and the village destroyed.[12]
Following the war, the area was incorporated into the State of Israel . Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi described that the site of the village in 1992: "The site is fenced in with barbed wire and is overgrown in part by cactuses, especially where there is limestone soil, and by carob trees. No houses or rubble remains."[12]
