Al-Mas'udiyya (also known as Summayl), was a Palestinian Arab village in the Jaffa Subdistrict. It was depopulated during the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on December 25, 1947. It was located 5 km northeast of Jaffa, situated 1.5 km south of the al-'Awja River. The village used to be known as Summayl.

History

In 1799, it was noted as an unnamed village on the map that Pierre Jacotin compiled that year.[6]

An Ottoman village list from about 1870 showed that Samwil had 23 houses and a population of 62, though the population count included men, only. It was noted as a Bedouin camp, 4,5 km north of Jaffa centre, and 1 km from the sea.[7] [8]

In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described Summeil as an ordinary adobe village,[9] which had a large well, and a cave.[10]

British Mandate era

In the 1922 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Mas'udiyeh had a population of 443; 437 Muslims and 6 Christians,[11] (where the Christians all belonged to the Templar community),[12] increasing in the 1931 census to 658; 654 Muslim and 4 Christians, in a total of 127 houses.[13]

On 20 December 1942, Al-Mas'udiyya was annexed into Tel Aviv as part of a municipal border expansion.[14]

In the 1945 statistics, the village had a population of 850; 830 Muslims and 20 Christians.[2] [3]

Al-Mas'udiyya had an elementary school founded in 1931, and in 1945 it had 31 students.[5]

1948, aftermath

In 1992, the village site was described: "The area is part of Tel Aviv. All that remains of the village is one deserted house that belonged to Muhammad Baydas. Cactuses, castor-oil (ricinus) plants, and palm and cypress trees further mark the site. Nearby is the al-Mas'udiyya (or Summayl) bridge – an arched, steel structure."[5]
