'''Lazzaza''' ({{langx|ar|لزّازة}}, transliterated as ''Lazzâza'') was a [[Palestinian people|Palestinian]] [[Arab]] village of 230 in the northern [[Hula Valley]] next to the [[Hasbani River]], located {{convert|27.5|km|mi|sp=us}} northwest of [[Safad]].<ref name="Khalidi">Khalidi, 1992, p.469.</ref> [[Beit Hillel]] subsequently expanded onto the land.

==History==
In 1881, the [[Palestine Exploration Fund|PEF]]'s ''[[PEF Survey of Palestine|Survey of Western Palestine]]'' (SWP) described Lazzaza, while under [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] rule, as a village of 70 people built of [[adobe]] bricks and situated on a plain near a river.<ref>Conder and Kitchener, 1881, SWP I, p. [https://archive.org/stream/surveyofwesternp01conduoft#page/89/mode/1up 89]. Quoted in Khalidi, 1992, p.469.</ref>

===British Mandate era===
It was incorporated into the [[Mandatory Palestine|British Mandate of Palestine]] in 1922. Under the British, Lazzaza had an elementary school, in which 26 students were enrolled in 1945. The residents, mostly [[Muslim]]s, took advantage of the village's fertile lands, and agriculture became the basis of its economy. The primarily cultivated crops were onions, corn, and fruits, but the beehives were also kept, in addition to some livestock. Some of Lazzaza's inhabitants also fished in the Hasbani River.<ref name="Khalidi"/>

In the [[1931 census of Palestine]] the population of Lazaza was 176, all Muslims, in a total of 39 houses.<ref name=Census1931>Mills, 1932, p. [https://archive.org/details/CensusOfPalestine1931.PopulationOfVillagesTownsAndAdministrativeAreas 108]</ref>

In the [[Village Statistics, 1945|1945 statistics]], Lazzaza was counted with the nearby [[Jew]]ish settlement of [[Beit Hillel]] which together constituted a population of 330; 230 were Muslims of Lazzaza, the remaining 100 were Jewish of Beit Hillel.<ref name=1945p10/><ref name=Hadawi70/>

===1948, aftermath===
The Arabs of Lazzaza fled their village during the [[1948 Arab-Israeli War]] on May 21, 1948.<ref name="Morris"/> The village was not attacked by [[Israel]]i forces, and the probable cause of its depopulation was a "whispering campaign" devised by [[Palmach]] commander [[Yigal Allon]] during Operation Yiftach, in which rumor would spread about massive Jewish reinforcements approaching the [[Galilee]]. According to [[Walid Khalidi]], "only a few scattered houses remain on the village site", and that the residents of Beit Hillel cultivate the surrounding fields.<ref name="Khalidi"/>
