Al-Haditha was a Palestinian Arab village in the Ramle Subdistrict. It was located 8 km northeast of Ramla, on the bank of Wadi al-Natuf. The site, now known as Tel Hadid, has yielded significant archaeological remains from many periods.

History

It has been suggested that Al-Haditha was the site of the biblical village of Hadid, mentioned in the Book of Ezra (II, 33) and later in the Mishna as a city of Judea fortified by Joshua.[4] Hadid was called 'Adida in the Book of Maccabees, while Eusebius referred to it as Adatha or Aditha.[4]

In 1945, the village had a population of 760.[2] It was depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War on July 12, 1948 under the first stage of Operation Dani.
