Place Description

A historic Palestinian village in Upper Galilee, situated on a dome-shaped hill approximately 1 km southeast of Tarbikha, of which it was a satellite village. The village had a shrine associated with the prophet Rubin and relied on Tarbikha for services; most of its land was used for pasture, while grain, olives, and tobacco were cultivated. In 1944/45, the lands of al-Nabi Rubin, Tarbikha, and Suruh included 3,200 dunums devoted to cereals and 619 dunums of irrigated or orchard land.
