Place Description

A historic Palestinian village in the Baysan subdistrict, situated on a broad plain bordered by three archaeological tells, with the al-Faqqu'a Mountains to the south and the Jalud River crossing its lands toward the Jordan, while a highway connected it with Baysan. Its fertile and well-watered agricultural landscape supported vegetables, grapes, fruit trees, date palms, and cereals, with 828 dunums recorded as irrigated or orchard land in 1944/45 and a large forest occupying the area to the northwest.
