History

In 1596, it was named as a village, Jibsid, in the Ottoman nahiya (subdistrict) of Sagif under the liwa' (district) of Safad, with a population of 39 households and 10 bachelors, all Muslim. The villagers paid a fixed tax-rate of 25% on agricultural products, such as wheat, barley, olive trees, fruit trees, goats, beehives and "Occasional revenues"; a total of 5,040 akçe.[1][2]

In 1875 Victor Guérin found here a village of 400 Metualis, and a Wali, named Nabi Seth.[3]

gollark: There aren't actually any mathematical proofs that breaking RSA and AES and whatever actually requires a really large amount of operations.
gollark: C does not have compile-time detection of such mistakes, so that's tricky.
gollark: Oh yes, just never make mistakes.
