Yajur (Arabic: ياجور‎‎, Yâjûr) was a Palestinian Arab village located 9.5 km southeast of Haifa. It was depopulated during the 1947–48 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on April 25, 1948.

History

Yajur was mentioned as part of the domain of the Crusaders during the hudna (truce) between the Crusaders based in Acre and the Mamluk sultan Al Mansur Qalawun declared in 1283.[4]

British Mandate era

In 1921, some of the land of Yajur was sold by Nasrallah Kuri to Yehoshua Hankin.[citation needed] The village population in 1945 was 610.[2]

Fragments of glass, and tombs with sarcophagi are located in the old village area today.
