Aqir, also spelt 'Aqr, Akir and Akkur, was a Palestinian Arab village in the Ramle Subdistrict, located 9 km southwest of Ramla and 1 km north of Wadi al-Nasufiyya (today called Nahal Ekron). It was depopulated and demolished and replaced by Kiryat Ekron.
==History== Until the early 20th century, Aqir was thought to lie at the site of the ancient Philistine city of Ekron ('Aqrūn), that has now been identified as Tel Mikne, 9 km to the south. The error seems rooted in antiquity; The Romans referred to the village as Accaron.
