Kafr 'Ana' (Arabic: كفرعانة, also: Kafr Ana) was a Palestinian town located 11 kilometers (6.8 mi) east of Jaffa, built on the ancient site of Ono. In 1945, the town had an estimated population of 2,800 Arabs and 220 Jews. Prior to being captured by the pre-state Jewish forces of the Alexandroni Brigade in April of 1948 (weeks before the start of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War) and facing conflict, the inhabitants fled.[7] Today, the old village site lies within the confines of the modern Israeli city of Or Yehuda.
