History
[edit]During the Mountain War many of the Christians in the village fled due to fighting. On 1 September 1983, Druze militias entered the Syrian-controlled village and killed 39 of Christian civilians.[2][3] The right-wing Phalangist-operated Voice of Lebanon radio station reported that the militias had "butchered about 40 elderly persons and children with knives, including the town’s priest, Gergis El-Rai," and that only one remaining Christian had survived.[4]
