It was ethnically cleansed and depopulated during the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on April 30, 1948, by the Palmach's First Battalion of Operation Yiftach. It was located 6 km south of Safad, overlooking the deep gorge of Wadi al-'Amud. History Victor Guérin describes this place in 1875 as "built of white limestone mixed with stones of black basalt in alternate courses. We think that although this custom is common in modern Arab building, it can be shown to have been an ancient usage, so that the building may be old. Round it are the vestiges of a ruined hamlet." In 1881 the PEF's ''Survey of Western Palestine'' found at ''Kŭlảt esh Shûneh'': "A modern Arab building of basaltic stone; used probably as a barn, as the name implies." British Mandate era In the 1922 census of Palestine ''Shuneh'' had a population of 83; all Muslim,Barron, 1923, Table XI, Sub-dis ...
