Kudna

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kudna is a region of Palestine inhabited by Palestinians before the 1948 takeover by Israel. Kudna is located on the northwestern end of the larger district known as Hebron. The area was populated by the Shadfan family, who were forced to flee during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. All that remains of the Shadfan family is an old water well (that is said to have a special ability to cause women who drink from it to give birth to boys, rather than girls), a few ancient ruins (including a rock-made device for crushing olives), the remains of a fence, and their family cemetary.


The area today is inhabited by Israeli kibbutz.
