Reshafim is a kibbutz located in the northeastern part of occupied Palestine, approximately two kilometers south of the village of Al-Ashrafiyya. It was established in 1948 on the lands of that village. As of 2019, the number of settlers residing there was 1,089. Al-Ashrafiyya is a depopulated Palestinian village located southwest of the city of Beisan (Baysan), about 5 km away, and lies 114 meters below sea level. The total area of its lands was 6,711 dunams. It was surrounded by the lands of the villages of Jalbun, Tall al-Shawk, Farrunah, and Al-Hamra. The estimated population of the village was approximately 136 in 1922, and 230 in 1945. Sources: Due to the scarcity of Arabic-language sources, “Hebrew” sources were used:

  • The Hebrew website of the settlement

  • The Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics

Information about the village of Al-Ashrafiyya was sourced from the Palestine Remembered website.
