Al-Malikiyya
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
al-Malikiyya was an Arab village located on the border between the British Mandate of Palestine and Lebanon, north-northeast of the town of Safed. Its population was Metawali Shiite, and were originally considered to form part of Lebanon, which still claims sovereignty over this, and several other (former) villages. In a 1930s census, the village was registered as Palestinian and part of the Safed District.
A battle was fought in the village on 5-6 June 1948, during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Combatants were Israelis and the Lebanese army. As a result of the war, the village was depopulated and it is currently located in a military zone.
