About
Kharruba was a Palestinian Arab village with a significant history of habitation and conflict. Archaeologically, it features the remains of a medieval fort possibly linked to the Crusader castle Arnaldi, and historical records suggest it was a site of resistance during the Bar Kokhba revolt. Kharruba has been a cultivated area since at least the 16th century CE, evidenced by Ottoman tax records. The village was resettled in the early 20th century by residents from Beit Iksa, serving as a satellite village. It was depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and its ruins today include stone rubble and remnants of traditional Palestinian plantings. The site holds historical significance due to its long occupation history and the events it has witnessed over centuries.
