Storia
La città, o almeno il suo primo impianto, è stata fondata secondo la tradizione biblica da Sem, uno dei tre figli di Noè, che vi studiava volentieri assieme al figlio Eber, ma Safad non sìè sviluppata a livello urbano fino al momento in cui fu occupata e governata dai Romani. ]</ref> En juillet 2006, des roquettes Katioucha tirées par le Hezbollah depuis le sud Liban ont atteint Safed tuant un homme et en blessant d'autres. Le 14 juillet de cette année, des roquettes ont tué un enfant de cinq ans ainsi que sa grand-mère.[1]
