Al-Khayriyya was a Palestinian village located 7.5 kilometers east of Jaffa. Its inhabitants fled as a result of a military assault by the Alexandroni Brigade of the pre-state Israeli forces in the lead up to the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. At the time of Assyrian rule in Israel, al-Khayriyya was known as Banai Berka and during Roman rule, it was known as by Beneberak. Arab villagers had called it Ibn Ibraq, preserving the ancient name. In 1596, under Ottoman rule, Al-Khayriyya was a village in the nahiya of Ramla (liwa' of Gaza), with a population of 154. It paid taxes on a number of crops, including wheat, barley, fruits and sesame, as well as on other types of property, such as goats, beehives and vineyards.
