Nazlat 'Isa (Arabic: نزلة عيسى) is a Palestinian village in the Tulkarm Governorate in the western West Bank, located North of Tulkarm.
Ceramics from the Byzantine era have been found here, as have cisterns and tombs.[3]
In 1882, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine described the village, then named Nuzlet el Masfy as: "A small village on the low hills, with wells."[4]
In the 1922 census of Palestine conducted by the British Mandate authorities, Nazlet Esa had a population of 203 Muslims,[5] increasing in the 1931 census to 261 Muslims, living in 62 houses.[6]
In the 1945 statistics the population of Nazlat Isa was 380 Muslims,[7] with 2,030 dunams of land according to an official land and population survey.[8] Of this, 684 dunams were for plantations and irrigable land, 750 were used for cereals,[9] while 12 dunams were built-up (urban) land.[10]
In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Nazlat 'Isa came under Jordanian rule.
In 1961, the population of Nazlet 'Ise was 627.[11]
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Nazlat 'Isa has been under Israeli occupation.
In 2003, during the Second Intifada, over 60 shops were destroyed by Israeli civil administration bulldozers. The Israeli civil administration claimed that the shops were demolished because they were built without a permit. Palestinians consider Israeli military curfews and property destruction to constitute collective punishment against innocent Palestinians.[12] [13] [14]
According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, Nazlat 'Isa had a population of approximately 2,502 inhabitants in mid-year 2006 and 2,302 inhabitants by 2017.[15] 8.7% of the population of Nazlat 'Isa were refugees in 1997.[16] The healthcare facilities for Nazlat 'Isa are designated as MOH level 2.[17]
