Category:Khirbat Al-Dumun

Category:Khirbat Al-Dumun is linked to Category:Haifa: Palestinian Arab villages depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. But Khirbat Al-Dumun was not a village but only tobacco warehouses as I wrote in the category: "Damon Prison was established in 1953 on lands belonging to the Karaman, Dick and Salti company owned by the Karaman family - a Muslim Arab family from Haifa - where tobacco warehouses were located."

No village was depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. To add to this category Category:Haifa: Palestinian Arab villages depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War is wrong. Not every Khirba was a village, in many cases it is just an old ruin building. The article in English wikipedia en:Khirba is mistaken.

The prison was built on the site of an archaeological site from the Byzantine period called "Khirbet a-Damun. You can read an article about the prison in Hebrew Wikipedia here

See this map: 8 : Damon, urbs dftructa. (Ville de Damon, détruite). -- Geagea (talk) 11:15, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

@Geagea: you mean no. 18. It is realy not a good map. Damon Prison is norther near no. 21. I add the information in Hebrew article the information about the archaeological site based on a book. Hanay (talk) 14:27, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

The 1780 map is interesting, but not really anything we can use, if we do not know the origin. I agree with Hanay that Danum is further north..but such inaccuracies was common in the maps of the time. Take a look on the 1799 maps of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Jacotin.

And Hanay, where did the 340 Muslim inhabitants in Khirbat ed Danum in the Haifa District, in 1945 live, if not at Khirbat Al-Dumun? Huldra (talk) 20:19, 7 December 2017 (UTC)
