'''al-Nahr''' ({{lang-ar|النهر}}), was a [[Palestinians|Palestinian]] village {{cvt|14|km}} northeast of [[Acre, Israel|Acre]]. It was depopulated in May 1948 after a military assault carried out by the [[Carmeli Brigade]] as part of the [[Israel Defense Forces]]'s [[Operation Ben-Ami]]. Immediately after the assault, the village of al-Nahr was razed.<ref>Morris, 2004, p.
