In 1945 the village had a population of 750. An elementary school for boys was founded in 1946, and it had an initial enrollment of 65 students.
al-Tina was also the birthplace of 'Abd al-Fattah Humud (1933-68), a petroleum engineer, and one of the founding members of al-Fatah, the largest PLO faction.
