May 1948 CE
The British, evacuating the area of Zefat, give the Arabs the fortified police post on nearby Mount Canaan (Har Kenaan) three thousand one hundred and forty-nine feet (nine hundred and sixty meters) above sea level and five hundred feet (one hundred and fifty meters) above the old Jewish section, because the population of Zefat is predominantly Arab.
The Haganah nevertheless takes the city on May 12, 1948, and the Arab population flees.
