وادي عارة
During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War the village and the surrounding area came under Iraqi control. On 15 April 1948, Jewish forces raided the village and did not capture it. In March 1949 Jordanian forces replaced the Iraqi forces in Wadi Ara. On 3 April 1949 Israel and Jordan signed an armistice agreement in which Israel would receive the Wadi Ara area.
