Khirbat al-Duhayriyya

Khirbat al-Duhayriyya (Arabic: خربة الظهيرية) was a Palestinian Arab village in the Ramle Subdistrict. It was depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War on July 10, 1948, by the Givati Brigade under the first phase of Operation Dani. It was located 6 km northeast of Ramla.

History
In 1874 Clermont-Ganneau noted the site, called ''Kh. edh Dh'heiriyeh'', located about half an hour east of Lydda.

In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine found at Khurbet edh Dhaheriyeh: "Foundations of buildings, apparently modern. Ruined kubbeh."

By the beginning of the 20th century, residents from neighbouring Ni'lin settled the site, establishing it as a dependency – or satellite village – of their home village.

British Mandate era
At the time of the 1931 census, the village, called Ez Zuheiriya, had 10 occupied houses and a population of 69 inhabitants, all Muslims.

In the 1945 statistics the village had a population of 100 Muslims. The total land area was 1,341 dunams, of this, a total of 1,224 dunums were used for cereals, 66 dunums were irrigated or used for plantations, while 351 dunams were classified as non-cultivable areas.

1948, aftermath
Khirbat al-Duhayriyya was depopulated on July 10, 1948.

In 1992 the village site was described: "The walls of some ten houses still stand. Otherwise, the village has been reduces to piles of stone rubble interspersed with fig, doum palm, and almond trees, along with thickets of thorn and wild vegetation. The site is fenced in and serves as pasture for animals. Cactuses grow along the northern and southern sides of the site."
