Jewish communities lost in 1948 היישובים שאבדו ב-1948

During the War of Independence a number of Jewish communities fell or had to be abandoned. The four kibbutzim of the Etzion Bloc south of Jerusalem fell on 13 to 14 May 1948, and many defenders of Kfar Etzion were massacred after surrendering. Atarot and Neve Yaakov north of Jerusalem, and Kalya and Beit HaArava by the Dead Sea, were evacuated. The Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem surrendered, and Kfar Darom in Gaza was evacuated. Several were rebuilt after the Six-Day War.
