Biyar 'Adas (Arabic: بيت نقّوبة) is a former Palestinian village located 19km northeast of the city of Tel Aviv-Yafo. In 1945 the village had a population of 300 and a total land area of 5,492 dunums. It was captured by the Lehi, an offshoot of Israel's forces, the Haganah on April 12, 1948. Today according to Walid Khalidi, the site of the village is filled with cacti, fig orchards and palm trees cultivated by Jewish residents of nearby towns.
