Dayshum (Arabic: ديشوم, romanized: Dayshūm), also known by its variant name Dayshun was a Palestinian village, depopulated on 30 October 1948 by the Sheva Brigade of Israeli paramilitary force Palmach in an offensive called Operation Hiram, where the village has been destroyed, and only house rubble left behind.
