Village in Ramle, Mandatory Palestine
Shilta was a Palestinian Arab village in the Ramle Subdistrict of Mandatory Palestine . Sitting on a hill, It was probably settled in the 19th century.[6] 1948 Arab–Israeli War on July 18, 1948, by the First Battalion of the Yiftach Brigade in the Operation Danny . It was located 15 km east of Ramla .
Etymology [ edit ]
The name is of Aramaic origins.[7] Kefrscilta or Capharscylta .[5] [8]
History [ edit ]
Persian to Mamluk periods [ edit ]
Shards from the Persian , Hellenistic , Roman , Byzantine periods have been found here, and possible shards from the Umayyad , Abbasid and the Crusader periods.[8] Mamluk period have also been found, though Finkelstein label this find questionable.[8]
Ottoman period [ edit ]
The village likely saw settlement during the 19th century, given its absence from the Early Ottoman defter .[6]
In 1870, Victor Guérin visited and noted that the village was "reduced to a few houses, it succeeded an ancient locality, as is proved by several cisterns dug in the middle of a rocky platform flattened by the man's hand, and a number of stones scattered here and there or embedded in Muslim buildings."[9]
An Ottoman village list from about the same year showed that Schi’ra had 13 houses and a population of 41, though the population count included men, only. It was noted that it was located east of Jimzu .[10] [11]
By the beginning of the 20th century , residents from Kharbatha Bani Harith settled the site, establishing it as a dependency - or satellite village - of their home village.[12]
British Mandate [ edit ]
According to a census conducted in 1931 by the British Mandate authorities , Shilta had a population of 22 inhabitants, in 7 houses.[13]
The village had a mosque at the north end of the village, and there was a shrine of Shayk Ahmad al Shiltawi near it.[5]
In the 1945 statistics , the village had a population of 100 Muslims,[2] dunums of land.[3] [14] [15]
1948 war; Israel [ edit ]
Shilta was depopulated after a military assault July 15–16, 1948.[4]
Israel established Shilat and Kfar Ruth on village land in 1977.[5]
In 1992, the village site was described: "The site is overgrown with mountain flora, including long grasses and pomegranate , almond , and carob trees. Some of the cactus hedges survive, and several wells also are visible. Israeli have built greenhouses for growing flowers, [] Israeli settlement houses have been built on village land."[5]
