al-Imara ( _ar. العمارة) was a Palestinian village, located in the northern Naqab Desert 27 kilometers northwest of the city of Beersheba. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, the village was captured by the Yiftach Brigade in early October, meeting with no resistance. The Jewish kibbutz of Urim is built on the lands of the former village.
