Saliha

former Arab villages in Palestine Saliha ( )is one of the Seven Lebanese Villages that was later transferred to the British Mandate of Palestine. Originally part of the Jabal Amel district of South Lebanon, this term has been historically used to denote the homeland of Shi'a Muslims in Southern Lebanon. Located twelve kilometers north of Safad and after the transfer of the village, Saliha is currently one kilometer south of the border with Lebanon on the edge of a deep wadi (i.e. valley ) known as Wadi Saliha. The Franco-British Boundary Agreement of 1920 placed Saliha within the French mandate of Lebanon border, thus classifying it a part of Lebanese territory. It was one of the 24 villages transferred from the French mandate of Lebanon to British control in 1924 in accordance with the 1923 demarcation of the border between the British Mandate for Palestine and the French Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon . It thus formed part of Palestine until 1948. Under the 1948 United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine , Saliha was to be included in the proposed Arab state, while the boundary between it and the proposed Jewish state was to run north of the built-up area of the village. During the 1948 Arab-Israeli war , Saliha was the site of a massacre carried out by Israeli forces shortly before the village was completely depopulated. The built structures in the village, with the exception of an elementary school for boys, were also destroyed.
