The District of al-Ramla

Abu Shusha

 Abu Shusha was first attacked in the early months of the war in what the Haganah called "the model of a studied retaliatory operation". According  to the account given by the History of the Haganah, the hit-and-run attack was carried out after a guardsman from the nearby settlement of Gezer was killed while trespassing on the fields of Abu Shusha. The Israeli settlement of Ameilim occupies much of the site.
