Ethnically cleansing
by Israelis
Either in December 1947 or January 1948 the leaders of al-Shaykh
Muwannis, al-Mas'udiyya, al-Jammasin,
and the mukhtars of 'Arab Abu Kishk and Ijlil
met with Haganah representative in the house of Avraham Schapira in Petah Tikva
and expressed desire for peace. Despite the commitment of these villages not harbor
any Arab Liberation Armies or local Arab Militia, they were all completely ethnically
cleansed. al-Jammasin al-Sharqi inhabitants were partially intimidated by the Haganah into fleeing their homes on January 7th 1948, and complete ethnic cleansing on March 17th, 1948.

According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, the village remaining structures on the village land are:
"Except for somerubble-strewn areas [where castor-oil (ricinus) plants and cypress, fig, and Christ's-thorn trees grow ], the site has been almost entirely engulfed by the expansion of Tel Aviv .Several Arab houses still stand and have been incorporated into the grid of Tel Aviv's streets, along with the newer Jewish commercial and residential buildings."
