The District of al-Ramla

Zarnuqa

In late 1948 the settlement of Zarnoqa was established on the village site. It is now a neighborhood on the outskirts of Rehovot. The settlements of Gan Shelomo, Gibton, and Giv’at Brenner have also spread onto village lands and are merging with the suburbs of Rehovot. The houses of the Israeli settlements dominate the site, on which mulberry trees and cacti grow. The few houses that remain are either occupied by Jewish inhabitants or fenced in and used for storage.
