History
In 1596, Indur was a part of the Ottoman nahiya ("subdistrict") of Shafa under the liwa' ("district") of Lajjun with a population of twenty-two. It paid taxes on a number of crops, including wheat, barley and olives, as well as goats and beehives.[1]
In Ottoman era Palestine, an elementary school was founded in Indur, but was closed during the British Mandate in Palestine.[2] Sheikh Tawfiq Ibrahim, one of the leaders of the 1936-1939 Arab revolt in Palestine was from Indur.[2]
The village was captured by Israel's Golani Brigade from its defenders, the local militia and the Arab Liberation Army on May 24, 1948. The town was completely abandoned.[2]
Today
During the 2004 commemorations of Nakba Day held by Palestinian Arab citizens of Israel, the annual right of return march led to Indur.[3] Jewish Israelis joined in the march and the event received coverage by Israeli cable and Arab satellite TV stations.[3]
Endor's former residents and their descendents number a few thousand from among the tens of thousands of internally displaced Palestinians within Israel today.[3]
