Al-Numairiyah

Al-Numairiyah (Arabic: النميرية) is a municipality in the Nabatieh District in southern Lebanon.

In the 1596 tax records, it was named as a village, Numayriyya, in the Ottoman nahiya (subdistrict) of Sagif under the liwa' (district) of Safad, with a population of 23 households and 6 bachelors, all Muslim. The villagers paid a fixed tax-rate of 25% on agricultural products, such as wheat, barley, olive trees, goats and beehives, in addition to "occasional revenues" and a press for olive oil or grape syrup; a total of 2,492 akçe.

On July 29, 2006, during the 2006 Lebanon War, Israeli war planes killed 6 civilians, aged 8 to 56 years old, claiming that they were targeting Hezbollah. However, here was no Hezbollah presence in the village at the time of the attack.

In 2014, Muslims made up 99.40% of registered voters in Al-Numairiyah. 97.77% of the voters were Shiite Muslims.
