Mansura, Syria
Mansura, (Arabic: ﻣﻨﺼﻮرة),[1] is a former Syrian village located in the Golan Heights.[2]
History
[edit]The German-American archaeologist Gottlieb Schumacher surveyed the site in the 1880s and described it as: "A large Circassian village, near el-Kuneitrah" and having 400 residents.[3]
In the late 1800s, the village was repeatedly attacked by Druze as a result of land disputes.[4]
In the 1930s, there was a dispute over land in Mansura between the leader of the al-Fadl tribe and three Lebanese.[5]
After Israel occupied the area in the Six-Day War, they began destroying Syrian villages in the Golan Heights.[6][7] Mansura was destroyed in 1967.[2] The village mosque was also destroyed by Israel.[8]
