"Rehovot" was built on the ruins of the Palestinian village Zarnuqa which was depopulated by the Givati Brigade in 1948 after its native residents were brutally expelled, and those who resisted were massacred. 

Coincidentally, Fathi Shaqaqi one of the founders of the PIJ is originally from Zarnuqa; today the PIJ shelled the "Rehovot" settlement resulting in severe damage. The occupation assesses the shelling to be carried out with point-precise missiles rather than rockets such that they bypassed David's Sling and Iron Dome missile defense systems.

"The missile that was fired in the direction of Rehovot was equipped with high-precision technology, and the Israeli air defenses could not shoot it down bypassing the David's Sling and Iron Dome systems," Israeli media reported. 

The Settlement of 'Rehovot' on the Ruins of Zarnuqa

During the 1948 Palestinian  Nakba, the Israeli Givati Brigade depopulated Zarnuqa on May 27 and 28. According to one version in the Al HaMishmar Zionist newspaper, a soldier shot three persons (an elderly man, an elderly lady, and a child) with a Sten gun.

The villagers were then led outside and forced to endure the heat and thirst until they turned over their weapons.

Then the villagers were expelled to Yibna. Six people perished overall, while 22 were imprisoned. The residents of Zarnuqa witnessed Zionist soldiers and adjacent settlers pillaging their community. The dwellings were destroyed a month later after their second expulsion.
