Daniyal
Daniyal (Arabic: دانيال) was a Palestinian village in the Ramle Subdistrict that was located 5 km east of Ramla and southeast of Lydda. It was depopulated during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War on July 10, 1948, by the Yiftach Brigade under the first phase of Operation Dani, as part of the broader 1948 Palestinian expulsion and flight and Nakba.
In 1838, Edward Robinson stopped by the village well, west of the village. He estimated the depth of the well to be 160 feet. The villagers were Muslim, and the village was noted as being in the Lydda District. It was populated by residents from Rafat, Jerusalem who established it as a dependency - or satellite village - of their home village.
In 1863, Victor Guérin noted: "a small mosque situated on a height; it contains the tomb of a saint, called Neby Danyal. Some olive trees and a palm tree surround it. Near there is a village of about forty houses, also called Danyal. I observed there, not far from the dwellings, a considerable number of silos, intended to preserve straw, barley, and wheat."
An official village list of about 1870 showed that the village had 24 houses and a population of 80, though the population count included men, only.
In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described Neby Danial: "A small settlement round the sacred shrine of the Prophet, with a well to the west. The tomb of Dan is shown here, and is believed by the Samaritans to be the true site." They further noted that: "The village of Neby Danial includes the Mukam of Neby Dan, from which it is said by the natives to take its name."
In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Danial had a population of 277 Muslims, increasing slightly in the 1931 census to 284 Muslims, in a total of 71 houses.
In the 1945 statistics, it had a population of 410 Muslims with a total of 2,808 dunums of land. Of this, 37 dunums were for plantations and irrigable land, 2,599 dunums were for cereals, while a total of 15 dunams were classified as built-up areas.
An elementary school for boys which is still standing today was founded in 1945, and had an enrollment of 55 students.
