Barrat Qisarya

Place in Haifa, Mandatory Palestine

Barrat Qisarya (Arabic: برة قيسارية, lit. 'outskirts of Caesarea') was a Palestinian Arab Bedouin village in the Haifa Subdistrict. It was ethnically cleansed during the Zionist invasion on February 15, 1948.[3] According to Morris in February 1948, the 'Arab al Sufsafi and Saidun Bedouin, who inhabited the dunes between Qisarya and Pardes left the area.[4] Evidence of previous occupation includes pieces of marble, pottery and glass, as well as ruined walls. It was located 32 km southwest of Haifa.
