Introduction '''Wa'arat al-Sarris''' () was a Palestinian  village in the Haifa Subdistrict, which was depopulated during the 1948 Palestine war.
History In the 1931 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate authorities,  it was counted as a part of  Shefa-'Amr suburbs, together with 9 other  villages, and together they had a total of  1197 inhabitants, all Muslim, in  234 houses.In the 1945 statistics  ''Wa'rit  Sarris'' was again counted among  Shefa-'Amr  suburbs, and it was noted with a population of  190 Muslims.===1948, aftermath===During the 1947–1948 Civil War in Mandatory Palestine, there were raids on Arab villages by Jewish forces, which led to flight of the residents and in early January 1948 Hans Moller, the manager of the Ata factory (in modern-day Kiryat Ata) offered the residents of the village to find shelter in his factory, which was near the village, but the residents declined the offer, in fear of being targeted by the Palestinian Arabs and fled to Shefa-'Amr. The village was occupied during April, 1948, during the Battle of Ramat Yohanan between the Jews and the Druze battalion of the Arab Liberation Army. The village was located 11 km east of Haifa.
