On 13 May, 1948, Najd was occupied by Jewish soldiers from the Negev Brigade as part of Operation Barak.[5] The inhabitants were expelled and fled to Gaza, and the village was then completely destroyed and leveled to the ground. In 1951, the town of Sderot was built over the village lands.
According to Benny Morris, the villagers of Najd were "driven out" by soldiers from the Negev Brigade on 12-13 May
