Sa'sa' (Arabic: سعسع, Hebrew: סעסע) was a Palestinian village, located 12 kilometres northwest of Safed, that was depopulated by Israeli forces during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. The village suffered two massacres committed by Haganah forces: one in mid-February 1948 and the other at the end of October the same year.[6][7][8] Its place has been taken since 1949 by Sasa, an Israeli kibbutz.
