==History==
In 1875, [[Victor Guérin]] found the village, (which he called ''Djennateh''), to have 60 [[Metawileh]] inhabitants.<ref>Guérin, 1880, p. [https://archive.org/stream/descriptiongogr00gugoog#page/n296/mode/1up 256]</ref> He further noted: "The village contains a number of ruined houses. A little [[mosque]] is partly built of
ancient materials."<ref>Guérin, 1880, p. [https://archive.org/stream/descriptiongogr00gugoog#page/n296/mode/1up 256], as translated by Conder and Kitchener, 1881, SWP I, p. [https://archive.org/stream/surveyofwesternp01conduoft#page/116/mode/1up 116]</ref>
In 1881, the [[Palestine Exploration Fund|PEF]]'s [[PEF Survey of Palestine|''Survey of Western Palestine'' (SWP)]] described it: "A small village of stone and mud, containing about 100 Moslems. […] It lies low, on arable land. The water is supplied by two [[Water well|wells]] in the village."<ref>Conder and Kitchener, 1881, SWP I, p.
