Editing Mi'ar (section)

===1948 War and aftermath===
According to [[Ilan Pappé]], on 20 June 1948 Israeli troops entered Mi'ar and shot indiscriminately against its residents while they were working in their fields, the village's houses were destroyed and forty inhabitants were killed. One witness to the Israeli attack was the Palestinian writer, [[Muhammad Ali Taha]], then a 17-year-old boy.<ref name="Pappe150">Pappé 2007, p. 150.</ref> Mi'ar's residents later returned and continued living in the village until Israeli troops from the [[Sheva Brigade]] reoccupied it on 15 July 1948, as part of the second stage of [[Operation Dekel]].<ref name="Morris421">Morris 2004, p.  [https://books.google.com/books?id=uM_kFX6edX8C&pg=PA421 421]</ref><ref name="Pappe150"/> According to [[Benny Morris]], Mi'ar's 893 inhabitants fled during the Israeli assault,<ref name="Morris421"/> while Pappé asserts that they were expelled.<ref name="Pappe150"/>

The Jewish communities of Segev (now [[Atzmon]]), [[Ya'ad (moshav)|Ya'ad]] and  [[Manof]] were built on Mi'ar's lands.<ref name=Khalidi26/><ref name="Pappe150" /> The village's remains in 1992 consisted of "some truncated stone walls, simple graves, and fig and olive trees". The site, which "was largely covered by cypress trees" had become a recreational area.<ref name=Khalidi26/>

Many of the refugees of Mi'ar became [[internally displaced Palestinians]] resettled in nearby [[Kabul, Israel|Kabul]], [[Sha'ab, Israel|Sha'ab]] and [[Arraba, Israel|Arraba]].<ref name="Boqai80">Boqa'i 2005, p. 80.</ref> Neighborhoods in each of the villages where Mi'ar refugees and their descendants reside are named Mi'ari after their village of origin.<ref name="Boqai80"/>
