Kafr Qasim, Arab city in Central District, Israel

Located 20 kilometers east of Tel Aviv, Kafr Qasim extends across 9,154 dunams of hilltop terrain along the Green Line border.

In October 1956, Israel Border Police killed 49 Arab civilians during an unannounced curfew, leading to subsequent trials and official recognition.

The annual memorial ceremonies at Kafr Qasim include gatherings at monuments established in 1976 to honor the victims of the 1956 events.

The development of Lev HaAretz industrial zone since 2007 brings economic opportunities to the 25,285 residents of this Central District municipality.

The Qesem Cave near Kafr Qasim contains archaeological findings from the Middle Paleolithic period, indicating early human settlement in the region.
