This article needs an account of the relationship between Wadi Hunayn and Ness Ziona. They were adjacent from the 1880s onwards, though kept administratively separate until the 1930s at least (as is evident in the 1922 and 1931 censuses). The official village list in PG 974 Suppl 2 (Dec 1939) says "Nes Tsiyona (with Wadi Hunein)", while the one in PG 1255 Suppl 2 (Mar 1943) says "Wadi Hunein (Nes Tsiyona)". On the other hand, the list of PG 116 (June 1924) lists only Wadi Hunein. Zerotalk 11:21, 22 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The Hebrew articles on Ness Ziona & Wadi Hunein offers minute details on the VILLAGE being established in 1926: the Abu Jaber clan from Sarafand al-Kh. ran a watermelon farm across the highway from N.Z., built a shop with a café, and it grew from there. The major crossroad (Jaffa-Gaza and Ramla-Nabi Rubin) was a factor, as well as the need for seasonal agricultural workers.
The 1880s info might refer to the wadi area as such, or to Bedouin who camped there periodically.
Were the German and the Jewish land aquisitions made from owners from Sarafand, absentee landlords, Bedouin... whom exactly? That could help. Arminden (talk) 19:23, 20 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
