Hatta (Template:Langx) was a Palestinian Arab village of 1,125 inhabitants that was depopulated after a July 17, 1948 assault by Israeli forces of the Givati Brigade during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war.<ref name="PR">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Operation An-Far</ref> Following the war the area was incorporated into the State of Israel and Zavdiel and Aluma were established on the land that had belonged to Hatta.

Location

The village was situated in a flat area on the southern coastal plain. It was probably named after the al-Hut tribe, originally from Najd in central Arabia, who camped near the site at the end of the fifth century A.D.<ref name="Khalidi 1992, p. 100">Khalidi, 1992, p. 100</ref>

History

The Arab geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi (d. 1228) referred to the village as Hattawa and said it was the home of the Islamic scholar ´Amru al-Hattawi.<ref name="Khalidi 1992, p. 100"/>

The village's residents came from Egypt, Transjordan and the Hejaz.<ref name=":0">Grossman, D. (1986). "Oscillations in the Rural Settlement of Samaria and Judaea in the Ottoman Period". in Shomron studies. Dar, S., Safrai, S., (eds). Tel Aviv: Hakibbutz Hameuchad Publishing House. p. 381</ref>

Ottoman era

Hatta, like the rest of Palestine, was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517, and in the tax registers of 1596 it appeared under the name of Hatta as-Sajara as being in the nahiya of Gazza, part of the Sanjak of Gaza. It had a population of 15 households, all Muslim. The inhabitants paid a fixed tax rate of 25% on wheat, barley, sesame, goats and/or beehives; a total of 5,600 akçe.<ref>Hütteroth and Abdulfattah, 1977, p. 147</ref>

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the area of Hatta experienced a significant process of settlement decline due to nomadic pressures on local communities. The residents of abandoned villages moved to surviving settlements, but the land continued to be cultivated by neighboring villages.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>

Edward Robinson passed by the village in 1838, and described its houses as being made of adobe bricks.<ref>Robinson and Smith, 1841, vol 2, p. 370</ref> It was also noted as a Muslim village in the Gaza district.<ref>Robinson and Smith, 1841, vol 3, 2nd appendix, p. 118</ref>

In 1863 Victor Guérin visited the village, which he estimated to have 600 inhabitants. He noticed that beside the well were four barrels of broken columns, three gray-white marble, and the fourth of bluish marble. The latter, placed horizontally at the orifice was deeply furrowed by the rope that animals or men had used to raise the water. In a oualy dedicated to Neby Amran he noticed some stones with the same ancient look. Around the village were large plantations of tobacco, here and there also stood several groups of beautiful pine, olive and fig trees.<ref>Guérin, 1869, p.125</ref>

An Ottoman village list of about 1870 showed that Hatta had 78 houses and a population of 211, though the population count included only men.<ref>Socin, 1879, p. 155</ref><ref>Hartmann, 1883, p. 133, also noted 78 houses</ref>

In 1883 the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described the village as being surrounded by gardens, some of which contained a few tamarisk trees. SWP also wrote that the name Hatteh preserved the name of the Hittites.<ref>Conder and Kitchener, 1883, SWP III, p. 260. Quoted in Khalidi, 1992, p. 100</ref>

British Mandate era

In the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Hatta had a population of 570 Muslims,<ref>Barron, 1923, Table V, Sub-district of Gaza, p. 9</ref> increasing in the 1931 census to 646, still all Muslim, in 140 houses.<ref name="Census1931">Mills, 1932, p. 3.</ref>

Hatta 1930 1:20,000

In the 1945 statistics Hatta had a population of 970 Muslims,<ref name=DoS1945p31/> with 5,305 dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey.<ref name=Hadawi45/> Of this, 4 dunams were plantations and irrigable land, 5,108 used for cereals,<ref>Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics. Village Statistics, April, 1945. Quoted in Hadawi, 1970, p. 86</ref> while 45 dunams were built-up land.<ref>Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics. Village Statistics, April, 1945. Quoted in Hadawi, 1970, p. 136</ref>

Yiftach Brigade position in Hatta, 1948

Hatta was captured on July 17–18, 1948, during Operation Death to the Invader, the last operation of the Ten Days period—the period between the two ceasefires of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.<ref name="carta47">Wallach, 1978, p. 47</ref> Following the war the area was incorporated into the State of Israel and in August 1948 a moshav named Revaha was slated to be built on the site. However, the plan was not implemented until 1953. Another moshav, Zavdiel was established in 1950 on village land, while Aluma was founded on village land in 1965.<ref name=Khalidi101/> Qomemiyyut and Rewacha are both close by, but not on village land.<ref name=Khalidi101/>

Walid Khalidi described the village site in 1992: "A small portion of the site is covered by a forest, planted by Israelis. The debris of houses are scattered under the trees. Sycamore trees and cactuses also grow on the site. The surrounding lands are cultivated. The British built military airport is still in use."<ref name=Khalidi101/>
