The first wave of villagers left the al-Khisas on 11 May 1948. Others left on 25 May 1948. Although 55 villagers remained in their homes and maintained good relations with neighboring Jewish settlements, they were eventually evicted. During the night of 5–6 June 1949, the villagers were forced into trucks and transported to the village of 'Akbara, south of Safad. Those expelled remained at 'Akbara for 18 years until agreeing to resettlement in Wadi Hamam. On September 26, 1948, kibbutz HaGoshrim was established on the village lands of al-Khisas. The kibbutz opened a hotel in the manor house of Emir Faour.
