Place Description

A historic Palestinian village on a rocky hill in the center of the western Upper Galilee, approximately 5 km south of the Lebanese border and connected by a wartime road to Fassuta and Tarshiha. The predominantly Muslim population cultivated grain, legumes, and olives, with 6,475 dunums devoted to cereals and 1,617 dunums to irrigated or orchard land in 1944/45, while springs, a rainwater pool, and shared lands with Fassuta and al-Mansura supported the agricultural landscape.
