History
editIn the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Al-Rashayida came under Jordanian rule.
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, the village has been under Israeli occupation.
After the 1995 accords, 5.7% of al-Rashayida's land was classified as Area A, 1.1% classified as Area B, 10.2% classified as Area C, while the remaining 83% is classified as "nature reserve".[2]
