Place Description

A historic Palestinian village in the Acre subdistrict, situated on two adjacent hills in the mountainous Upper Galilee, with a large rock-cut pool between them and the remains of an ancient fortified structure on the higher hill. Its cultivated lands supported wheat, barley, maize, tobacco, vegetables, figs, and olives, with tobacco particularly noted for its quality, while the surrounding rocky terrain and wooded areas also supported grazing.
