Zarnouqa Settlement

Zarnouqa is a Palestinian village that was depopulated. Its name is possibly derived from the Arabic word “al-Zarnouq,” meaning “small river.” Zionist settlers expelled the Arab inhabitants and destroyed the village in 1948. In the same year, Zionist Jews (most of whom migrated from Romania) established the settlements of “Zarnouqa” and “Ubb” on the site of the village and to its northwest. By 1956, the combined population of these settlements reached 693 settlers.
