History
=Arab and Jewish villages=
Jewish settlement began in the area in 1913 when Hashomer established Tel Adash, a settlement whose purpose was to protect the oil pipeline from Iraq to Haifa. By 1918, only two families remained.[http://www.tel-adashim.com/about/ About] Tel Adashim {{in lang|he}}
In 1921 Zionist activists completed a purchase of 22,000 dunams at Tell el-Adas from the Sursuk family of Beirut. At that time, there were 150 Muslim families living there.[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/ShawSursockTable.png List of villages sold by Sursocks and their partners to the Zionists since British occupation of Palestine], evidence to the Shaw Commission, 1930
