Saffuriyya, larger than the nearest district town of Nazareth, was famous in Roman times as “Sepphoris” with the remains of a coliseum still visible today.
Israeli forces occupied Saffuriyya on July 15, 1948, a village with over 4000 Palestinian residents and 55,000 dunams (a dunam is approximately 1/4 acre) of land.
Israel mistakenly believed that the residents of Saffuriyya, as part of 100,000 Palestinians in total who were able to remain in the 1948 borders, would simply drift away, or decrease in number.
