Kafr Qallil
Kafr Qallil (Arabic: كفر قلّيل) is a Palestinian town in the Nablus Governorate of the State of Palestine, in the northern West Bank. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the town had a population of 3,029 inhabitants in 2017.
Kafr Qallil is located 4.30 km south of Nablus. It is bordered by Nablus to the north and east, and by Burin to the south and west.
Pottery sherds from the early and late Roman and Byzantine eras have been found here. In addition to ceramics, inscriptions dating to the Byzantine era have been found here.
Pottery from the Umayyad era has also been found here.
Kafr Qalil was mentioned in the Samaritan Chronicle, and was inhabited by the Samaritans in the 7th century CE. Samaritan historian Benyamim Tsedaka references the Samaritan 'Aanaan family, cited in an 8th-century source, as former inhabitants of Kafr Qalil before their destruction or conversion. The Samaritan lineage record, called the Tolidah, mentions a Rabbi called Iṣḥāq b. Khalaf of the Benē Maṭar taught the Torah and lived in Kafr Qalīl before moving to Beit Bizzīn near Kafr Qaddum.
Incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517 with the rest of Palestine, in 1596 the village appeared in Ottoman tax registers as being in the nahiya of Jabal Qubal, part of Nablus Sanjak. It had a population of 50 households and 11 bachelors, all Muslim. They paid a fixed tax-rate of 33.3% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues and a press for olive oil or syrup; a total of 15,000 akçe.
In 1838, Kefr Kullin was noted as a village on the side of Mount Gerizim, located in the District of Jurat 'Amra, south of Nablus.
In 1870, Victor Guérin described it as being a village of two hundred inhabitants, separated by a valley in two districts, one northern and the other southern. A few gardens adjoined it.
