Located 12.5 kilometers north of Baysan, the village was assaulted by the forces of the Golani Brigade on 26 March 1948 during Operation Gideon, on the orders of Yosef Weitz, a representative of the Jewish National Fund (JNF). Its inhabitants fled in fear of being caught in the fighting.

Ma'ayan Harod (Hebrew: מעיין חרוד, lit.'Harod's spring') or Ain Jalut (Arabic: عين جالوت ‘ayn Jālūt, or عين جالود ‘ayn Jālūd, and Hebrew: גילות, romanizedain djeluth) is an all-year spring in the Harod Valley (the easternmost part of the Jezreel Valley) on the northwest corner of Mount Gilboa, that was the location of the 13th-century Battle of Ain Jalut. This was a major turning point in world history that saw the Mamluks inflict the first of two defeats on the Mongols that ultimately halted their invasion of the Levant and Egypt.
