History
The village was founded in 1927. Its initial residents are thought to have come from the villages of Haris al-Majdal and Kufritta,[2] who returned to the area after their land was bought from the Lebanese Sursock family in 1925.[3]
In the 1945 statistics Ras Ali was counted among Shefa-'Amr suburbs, and it was noted with a population of 80 Muslims.[4][5][6][7]
