Mughallis () was a Palestinian Arab village located northwest of Hebron. It was depopulated during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War between July 9–10, 1948 as part of Operation An-Far. ==History== ===Ottoman era=== It was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517 with the rest of Palestine, and by the 1596 tax records it was located it nahiya (subdistrict) of Gaza, part of Gaza Sanjak, with a population of 77 household, an estimated 424 persons, all Muslims. The villagers paid a fixed tax-rate of 25% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, fruit trees, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues; a total of 10,350 akçe. All of the revenue went to a Waqf.

In May 1863 Victor Guérin described it as a hamlet, still inhabited by a few families, and was designated to him by the name of Deir al Mokhalles, which Guérin translated as the Convent of the Saviour. He noted that the name probably derived from a former convent, which formerly existed at the place.
