Four Palestinian villages share the name Rafat. In the Jerusalem Governorate, there is the northern village of Rafat, and to the west is the uprooted village of Deir Rafat. Rafat is also a village in Nablus, and Khellet Rafat is located south of Hebron.
Since Jerusalem's Rafat is the subject of our brief research, we will address some aspects of its social and economic life, its role in resisting the British and Zionists in Palestine, and the manifestations of Zionist colonization and Occupation policies in the village.
