General Yigal Allon ordered the expulsion of the remaining Palestinians but the local commanders did not do so and the Arab population soon recovered to more than 2,500 due mostly to refugees slipping back and also due to the transfer of Palestinians from nearby villages.
General Yigal Allon naredio je protjerivanje preostalih Arapa, ali lokalni zapovjednici nisu to učinili te se arapsko stanovništvo ubrzo povećalo na više od 2000 uglavnom zbog povratka izbjeglica u njihove domove.
