History

Just east of the modern village (at grid 1758/2041), large amounts of pottery sherds have been found, all dating to the Middle Bronze Age IIB. In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Ash-Shuhada came under Jordanian rule. Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Ash-Shuhada has been under Israeli occupation.
