There are three territories in respect to the law of removal [of sheviit produce]: [these are]: Judea, Transjordan, and Galilee, and there are three territories in each one. Upper Galilee, lower Galilee, and the valley. From Kefar Hananiah upwards, the region where sycamores do not grow, is Upper Galilee. From Kefar Hananiah downwards, where the sycamores do grow, is Lower Galilee.
Ancient Kfar Hananya was a Jewish village during the period of Roman and Byzantine rule in the Galilee. After the Ottoman Empire conquered Palestine, the village came to be known as Kafr 'Inan and became an all-Muslim village.
During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, Kafr 'Inan was captured by the Golani Brigade of the Israel Defense Forces as part of Operation Hiram and the area was subsequently incorporated into the State of Israel. The villagers were expelled.
Modern day Kefar Hannaniah has an ancient tradition but for me the erasure of the local population of Kfar Inan requires an examination of all the villages that were ethnically cleansed in 1948 during operation Hiram.
