Azarya Settlement

Azarya is a moshav in central Palestine, located approximately five kilometers southeast of the city of Ramla. The moshav was established on the land of the Palestinian village of Al-Barriyya, which was depopulated, on October 30, 1949, by 25 Zionist families from Jerusalem as part of the "From the City to the Village" plan. As of 2021, the settlement had a population of 1,237 settlers. Sources: Due to the scarcity of Arabic sources, we relied on "Israeli" sources: the Hebrew website of the settlement / Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics. The village of Al-Barriyya is referenced from the Palestine in Memory website.
