Al-Samakiyya
Al-Samakiyya was a Palestinian Arab village in the Tiberias Subdistrict. It was depopulated during the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on May 4, 1948, under Operation Matateh. It was located 11 km northeast of Tiberias, near the Wadi al-Wadabani. The village was located at Tel Hum, which has been identified with Capernaum.
In 1838, Edward Robinson noted the bedawin (Bedouin) tribe of es-Semekiyeh, who kept some buildings in Abu Shusha as magazines.
In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, the population of Samakiyeh was 193 Muslims, increasing in the 1931 census to 290; 266 Muslims and 24 Christians,[clarification needed] in a total of 60 houses.
In the 1945 statistics Es Samakiya had a population of 380; 330 Muslims and 50 Christians[clarification needed], with 10,526 dunams of land. Of this, 2 dunams were used for citrus and bananas, 66 for plantations and irrigable land, 4,034 dunams for cereals, while a total of 6,424 dunams were classified as non-cultivable area.
Al-Samakiyya had an Italian monastery, a Franciscan church, and a Greek Orthodox church.[clarification needed]
On 4 May 1948, Yigal Allon launched Operation Matateh ('Operation Broom'), in order to clear the area of its Bedouin inhabitants. The Bedouin site is listed by Benny Morris as "'Arab al Samakiya (Samakiya/Talhum)".
Historian Saleh Abdel Jawad writes that five or more villagers were killed in "indiscriminate" killings by the Haganah.
Amnun and Korazim were both established on Al-Samakiyya land in 1983.
