Place Description

A historic Palestinian locality in the Baysan Valley, situated approximately 2 km from Baysan on the broad plain west of the Jordan River and alongside the Baysan–Jericho highway, within a landscape marked by ancient tells including Tall al-Barta, Tall al-Husn, and Tall al-Maliha. Its agricultural landscape combined rain-fed and irrigated cultivation of grain, fruits, and vegetables with livestock raising, while the locality was also known for its wool and dairy products; animals were taken to the Jordan Valley in winter and the highlands in summer.
