To the southwest of the city of Jerusalem, the researcher in the Palestinian villages, Fadi Al -Ansari, takes us to visit the village of “Lower”, one of the villages of the Jerusalem district, from which its people were displaced during the Nakba.
The population of the “lower” until 1948 reached about 70 people distributed over 10 homes, and they depended on agriculture and livestock, and they took water from the well of “Al -Dalbi” near the village of Jarash in Jerusalem. This was called the name in relation to the below plateau towards the surrounding areas.
In mid -October of 1948 and within an Israeli military operation called “Hahhar”, carried out by the “Haganah” forces, the village occupied and the residents were displaced towards the city of Bethlehem, and many of them settled in the Al -Dahisha and Aida camps, while others later immigrated outside Palestine, especially to Jordan.
Al -Ansari pointed out that in 1962 the occupation authorities demolished the remaining village buildings, with the aim of preventing the return of the residents to it. Only the ruins of the houses, some olive, almonds, figs, and aloe vera are left from the village.
At the end of his speech, he called on the people of the village of Safli and the rest of the villages in the Jerusalem district to visit their displaced villages and work to rebuild them.
