"Shaykh Muwannis", ʿĀdel az-Zawaty, a Paper Clipping
Handwritten in Arabic, this paper clipping documents the name of "Shaykh Muwannis", a colony established on the village of al-Shaykh Muwannis, a village set at a sandstone hill on the Central Coastal Plain two and a half kilometres from the shoreline and 800 metres from the northern bank of the al-Auja River. The village was named after a local religious man named Shaykh Muwannis, the shrine of whom is set in the village, which was occupied and displaced in 1948. After its occupation, Jews established an airport and related it to the Tel Aviv colony.
