Early History

The village, earlier called Ein Hawd, was one of the so-called al-Hija villages in what is now northern Israel, named after Emir Hussam al-Din Abu al-Hija. Entrance to the emirs palace in Bukhara. ...

Abu al-Hija (="the Daring") was an Iraqi-born commander of the Kurdish forces that took part in Sultan Saladin´s conquest (1187-93) of the Crusader Kingdom. He was renowned for his bravery, and commanded the garrison of Acre at the time of the Siege of Acre (1189-1192). Kurds are one of the Iranian peoples and speak Kurdish, a north-Western Iranian language related to Persian. ... Saladin, properly known as Salah al-DÄ«n Yusuf ibn Ayyub (Arabic: , Kurdish: ) (c. ...

The Siege of Acre was the most important event of the Third Crusade, lasting from August 28, 1189 until July 12, 1191, and the first time in the history of the crusades that the king was compelled to personally see to the defense of the Holy Land. ...

Abu al-Hija apparently returned to Iraq, but several members of his family remained in the country under orders from the Saladin (a normal method of insuring loyalty from distant commanders), and these family members settled on spacious tracts of land that they were granted in the Carmel region, in the Lower, Eastern and Western Galilee, and in the Hebron Highlands. One of these land grants became the village of Ein Hawd. Other al-Hija villages were Hadatha and Sirin in the Lower Galilee, Ruweis and Kawkab in the Western Galilee.

The sign near the entrance of Ein Hod

Most of the 700-900 Arab villagers of Ein Hod from before the 1948 Arab-Israeli War ended up on the West Bank, many in Jenin refugee camp. However, about 35 of the original inhabitants, led by the Abu al-Hija family, sheltered in a nearby wady around 2 km from their former homes. Attempts to dispossess them by legal means, or to make their lives difficult in the hope that they would leave, did not succeed.^[2] These villagers eventually became Arab citizens of Israel and became known as Internally Displaced Palestinians, or so-called "Present absentees". Their new settlement grew steadily to form a village, which they called Ein Houd.^[3] However, it was not recognised as such, and in 1988 it helped to form the association of the Arab Unrecognised Villages in Israel.^[4] In 1992 the state recognised the village, however, only on paper. Finally, in 2005 did it get full recognition, and were e.g. allowed to connect to Israel's electric grid.^[5] Image File history File links Metadata Size of this preview: 800 × 600 pixelsFull resolution‎ (2,272 × 1,704 pixels, file size: 1. ...
