History
In the British mandate period the village was classified as a hamlet by the Palestine Index Gazetteer.[1]
Post-1948
During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the village was captured by the Yiftach Brigade in early October, meeting with no resistance. The Jewish kibbutz of Urim is built on the lands of the former village, being approximately Script error: No such module "convert". south of the original village site.[2]
The Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, described the village remains in 1992: "The village site has been completely built over by the kibbutz of Urim. Although the kibbutz was established in 1946 near the village of Al-Imara, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, it was moved to the site of the former British police station. About 2 km southeast of the current kibbutz there are remains of several stone structures. These were the houses that belonged to Bedouin families before 1948 and were not considered part of al-Imara.[2]
