History

In 1596, it was named as a village, al-Bazuri, in the Ottoman nahiya (subdistrict) of Tibnin under the liwa' (district) of Safad, with a population of 22 households, all Muslim. The villagers paid a fixed tax rate of 25% on agricultural products, such as wheat, barley, summer crops, fruit trees, goats and beehives, in addition to occasional revenues; a total of 4,243 akçe.[2][3]

In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it: "A village built of stone, containing 300 Metawileh, situated on a ridge. One oil-press and one rock-cut cistern are the only antiquities. Water is obtained from a spring half a mile to the west."[4]
