History
Just east of the modern village (at grid 1758/2041), large amounts of pottery sherds have been found, all dating to the Middle Bronze Age IIB.[2]
In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, Ash-Shuhada came under Jordanian rule.
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Ash-Shuhada has been under Israeli occupation.
