Bayt Nuba

بيت نوبا

Ramla districtDepopulated 1967

Bayt Nuba was the third of the Latrun villages, with Imwas and Yalu. Israeli forces took the salient in the first hours of the June 1967 war; that night the inhabitants of all three villages — some 12,000 people — were ordered out, and the built-up area of Bayt Nuba was afterwards destroyed by military demolition. Mevo Horon was established on its lands in 1970, and the site lies within Canada Park.
