Al-Hamra' (Arabic: الحمراء ) was a Palestinian Arab village in the Safad Subdistrict. It was depopulated during the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine on May 1, 1948, by the Palmach's First Battalion of Operation Yiftach. It was located 24.5 km northeast of Safad, 1 km northwest of Wadi al-Dufayla.
During the British Mandate for Palestine, Al-Hamra' was noted as a village in the Palestine index Gazetteer.[2]
In 1944, Shamir was established about 2 km northeast of the village site.[2]
