It belonged to the Nahiyeh (sub-district) of Lod that encompassed the area of the present-day city of Modi'in-Maccabim-Re'ut in the south to the present-day city of El'ad in the north, and from the foothills in the east, through the Lod Valley to the outskirts of Jaffa in the west. In the 1945 statistics its population was 1,290, all Arab Muslim. However, the village was depopulated on 10 July 1948 after a military assault by the Israeli army. On the same day, Operation Danny headquarters ordered the Yiftach Brigade to blow up most of Innaba and al-Tira, leaving only houses enough for a small garrison.
