The site is often identified with biblical Emmaus. In 1961 the village had a population of 1,955 mostly Arab Muslims with a minority of 40 Arab Christians. Its total land area consisted of 5,167 dunums of which only 16 was cultivable.
It was captured by the Israeli Defense Forces from Jordanian control during the Six-Day War on June 7, 1967. Most of its inhabitants fled towards Ramallah or Jordan. Today the Canada Park is built upon the former village.
