Zarnuqa
Résumé
Zarnuqa (زرنوقة), also Zarnuga, was a Palestinian Arab village in the Ramle Subdistrict. It was depopulated on 27–28 May 1948 during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.
Zarnuqa was located 10 km southwest of Ramla.
Ceramics from the Late Bronze Age and the Persian era have been found here.
Building, winepress and ceramics from the Byzantine era have been found, as have early Islamic remains.
Tombs, from Late Ottoman period (sixteenth–nineteenth centuries CE) have been excavated, as has a building with a kiln and pottery dating to the eighteenth–nineteenth centuries.
The mosque of the village was built by Shaykh Ahmad al-Rahhal. A two-line poem inscribed in nashki script, dated the construction of the mosque to 1207 H. (1792-1793 C.E.).
The village appeared as an unnamed village on the map of Pierre Jacotin compiled in 1799.
Some of the inhabitants of Zarnuqa were Egyptians who arrived in Palestine with the army of Ibrahim Pasha. In 1838, Zernukah was noted as a village in the Gaza area.
In 1863 Victor Guérin found that Zarnuqa had 300 inhabitants, and that it was surrounded by tobacco plantations. A sanctuary was dedicated to a Sheik Mohammed.
An Ottoman village list of about 1870 counted 107 houses and a population of 267, though the population count included men only. Passing by, in 1871, Charles Warren described travelling in the area: "We passed through olive groves and gardens past Zernuka, until crossing over some undulating hills we came across the village Akir..."
In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine described Zarnuqa as a large adobe village "with cactus hedges around it and wells in the gardens." In 1890, the region between Zarnuqa and Ramle, a stretch of 10,000 dunams, was described by Zionist sources as an uncultivated wasteland. In March 1892, a dispute erupted between the shepherds of Zarnuqa and the Jewish farmers of the newly established moshava of Rehovot, which was finally resolved in the courts. In 1913, a violent clash, which according to the Jewish side, was sparked by the theft of grapes from a Rishon LeZion vineyard resulted in the deaths of two Jews from Rehovot and an Arab of Zarnuqa.
