Place Description

Al-Zarra'a was a historic Palestinian locality in the Baysan subdistrict, situated in the fertile lowlands of the Baysan Valley near the Jordan River and the villages of al-Khunayzir and al-Sakhina. Its lands were agriculturally productive and supported grain, vegetables, fruit, citrus, and irrigated cultivation, although PalQuest specifically notes that it excluded al-Zarra'a from its destroyed-village list because its lands had been purchased by the Jewish National Fund in the 1930s and the settlement of Tirat Tzvi was established on the site.
