Isdud was a Palestinian village in the region of Tel Ashdod that was depopulated in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Khalidi says it may have had historic links to Azdud, a postal stop between al-Ramla and Gaza, and the ancient city of Ashdod. The name appears in documents from the time of Mamluk-rule in the mid-15th century. In the Ottoman period, there were 75 households. In 1922, it had a population of 2,566 and in 1945, 4,620 Arabs and 290 Jews. During the 1948 war, the Arab inhabitants fled.
