Reason for the name
Named after one of the great men of Jerusalem, Sdistrictf al-
Din Musa, and his descendants known by bani Sdistrictf.
South-east of the Old Town adjacent to the Al-Magharba
District.
During the British mandate, the Jews rented most of the
hothouse and, there owned about 4% of them.
This District was destroyed during the 1948 war between the
Arabs and the Jews. The entire Jewish population left the
country during the Jordanian period in 1967, after the
occupation of Jerusalem, the Zionists called upon to own this
District, and thousands of its Palestinian residents destroyed
most of its homes and turned its name into "the Jewish Quarter".
In 1948, the population about 2,000 Jews trapped, forced to
leave the collective, and Arab forces looted the entire District
during the battle of Jerusalem, destroyed the ancient temples,
and remained under Jordanian rule until it re-seized by the
Zionist Paratrooper Brigade in the war days six in 1967.
