Aytat
View on WikipediaAitat, or Aytat (Arabic: عيتات), is a town located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) west of the town of Aley within the district of the same name in the Lebanese governorate of Mount Lebanon. It was a strategic place during the Lebanese Civil War (1975–1990), due to its view to Beirut.
Key Information
History
[edit]In 1838, Eli Smith noted the place, called Aithath, located in El-Ghurb el-Fokany, upper el-Ghurb.[2]
With its neighboring Christian town of Souk El-Gharb, this town remains one of the most memorable places in Lebanon for the Druze and the Christians as a reminder the fierce and deadly battles that occurred during the Lebanese Civil War. Today Aitat and Souk El-Gharb are considered to be the symbol of unity and forgiveness.[citation needed]
The Abi Saab's, Timani's and Talhouq's, are the most well known families of Aitat and the Aley district.[citation needed]
