Place in Safad, Mandatory Palestine Place in Safad, Mandatory Palestine Kafr Bir'im , also Kefr Berem ( Arabic : كفر برعم , Hebrew : כְּפַר בִּרְעָם ), was a former village in Mandatory Palestine , located in modern-day northern Israel , 4 kilometers (2.5 mi) south of the Lebanese border and 11.5 kilometers (7.1 mi) northwest of Safed . The village was situated 750 meters (2,460 ft) above sea level. "The village stood on a rocky hill only a little higher than the surrounding area and faced north and west." In ancient times, it was a Jewish village known as Kfar Bar'am. It became culturally Arabized during the Middle Ages. In the early Ottoman era it was wholly Muslim. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was noted as a predominantly Maronite Christian village. A church overlooking it at an elevation of 752 meters (2,467 ft) was built on the ruins of an older church destroyed in the earthquake of 1837 . In 1945, it had a population of 710 people, most of them Christians. The Palestinian Christian villagers were expelled by Zionist forces during the 1948 Palestine war . A few years later, on September 16, 1953 the village was destroyed by the Israeli military in order to prevent the villagers' return and in defiance of an Israeli Supreme Court decision recognizing the villager's right to return to their homes. By 1992, the only standing structure was the church and belltower. Also gives cause of depopulation. Interactive Encyclopedia of the Palestine Question – palquest .
