History

In 1875, Victor Guérin found here a village with 800 Metualis. He further noted: "Its principal mosque, now in ruins, is built of superb blocks, apparently ancient. It contains in the interior several monolithic columns."

In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) noted here: "There are several sarcophagi and cisterns in the village ; some caves near." They further described it as: "A large well-built village, built of stone, containing about 600 Metawileh and 400 Moslems. The Caimacam has a good house here. There are some figs and olives round the village and arable land; water is supplied from a spring and two birkets."

Modern era

On August 5, during the 2006 Lebanon War, Israeli war-planes killed 3 civilians, aged 2 to 48 years of age. The IDF offered no explanations to the strike.

On 11 August 2024, two people were killed by an Israeli airstrike in the village.
