Template:Infobox former Arab villages in Palestine
Khulda was a Palestinian Arab village in the District of Ramla. It was depopulated during the 1948 Palestine War on April 6, 1948 under Operation Nachshon. It was located 12 km south of Ramla. The Crusaders referred to Khulda as "Huldre"
In 1945 it had a population of 280. The village had a mosque.
History
Mujir al-Din al-'Ulaymi narrates how the under-Governor of Ramleh in 1495 C.E. had to take refuge against marouding Bedouin in a small fort which then existed at Khulda.[1]
Khulda was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517 with all of Palestine and in 1596, it was under the administration of the nahiya ("subdistrict") of Ramla, part of the liwa of Gaza. The village paid taxes on wheat, barley, beehives, and goats, and had a population of sixty-six.[2]
When Edward Robinson passed by in 1838, he described Khulda as "a large village" on a hill.[3]
Charles Simon Clermont-Ganneau visited Khulda in 1871, and the inhabitants told him how the village used to be surrounded by a fortified wall, two gates of which were still supposed to be in situ. Clermont-Ganneau noted that this agreed well with what Mujir al-Din wrote about the place.[4] At the end of the nineteenth century, Khulda was described as a large village, built of stone and mud, situated on a hill. The village had a manonary well to the east.[5]
1948, and aftermath
Kibbutz Mishmar David was established in 1948, about 0.5 km west of the village site, on village land. Tal Shachar is nearby, about 2 km south of the village site, but it is not on village land.[6]
Andrew Petersen, an archaeologist specializing in Islamic architecture visited Khulda in 1993, and notes that the remains of at least four stone buildings can be seen, although only two of them are standing.Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).
