What is "mi'ar"

Mi'ar was a Palestinian village located 17.5 kilometers east of Acre. Its population in 1945 was 770. The Crusaders referred to it as "Myary". By the 19th century, during Ottoman rule, it was a large Muslim village. The village was a center of Palestinian rebel operations during the 1936–39 Arab revolt in Palestine against British rule, which began in 1917, and the village consequently completely dynamited by the British. Mi'ar was later restored, but it was depopulated by Israeli forces during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Its land are currently occupied by the Jewish communities of Atzmon and Ya'ad.
