  Arab al-Nufay'at was a Palestinian Arab village in the Haifa Subdistrict. It was depopulated during the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on 10 April 1948. It was located 45 km south of Haifa.
  
  ## History
  
  The population in the 1945 statistics was 820, all Muslims, with a total of 8,937 dunams of land; of which 1,471 was public land, the rest owned by Jews.
  
  In 1945 Mikhmoret was established on village lands, south of the site.
  
  ### 1948, and after
  
  On 6 April 1948, the Haganah implemented a new policy for the coastal plains, namely of clearing the whole area of its Arab inhabitants. On 10 April the villagers of Arab al-Nufay'at, together with the villagers of Arab al-Fuqara and Arab Zahrat al-Dumayri, were ordered to leave the area.
  
  In 1992 the village site was described: "The only traces left of the village is one house, which is still inhabited by an Arab family, and an old mulberry tree. The Israeli army has established a military camp that covers a large area near the site. The rest of the surrounding land is planted in melons, wheat, and barley. Some mulberry and eucalyptus trees grows near the site."
