History
Ein al-Zeitun, was a Palestinian village located 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) north of Safed in the Upper Galilee. During the early Ottoman Empire, Ein el-Zeitun had a mixed population of Muslims and Jews. Later, in the 19th century, it became entirely Muslim. The village's small population and land area, as well as its proximity to Safad, made it a suburb of the city. In 1945, the village had a population of 820 inhabitants and a total land area of 1100 dunams.
