Al-Bira ((アラビア語:البيرة)) is a depopulated former Palestinian village located 7.5 km north of Baysan. During Operation Gideon, the village was occupied by the Golani Brigade.〔(al-Bira ), PalestineRemembered.com.〕 ==History== It has been suggested that the village was the site mentioned in the records of Tutmose III´s military campaign in Israel/Judea in 1468 BC.〔Simons (1937): ''Handbook for the Study of Egyptian Topographical Lists Relating to Western Asia.'' Leiden: E.J. Brill. p117. Quoted in Khalidi, 1992, p. 44〕 In 1596, al-Bira was a village in the Ottoman Empire, ''nahiya'' (subdistrict) of Shafa under the ''liwa''' (district) of Lajjun, with a population of 297. It paid taxes on a number of crops, including wheat, barley, and olives, as well as on goats and beehives.〔Hütteroth and Abdulfattah, 1977, p. 157. Quoted in Khalidi, 1992, p. 45〕 Al-Bira appeared as a village in a map published in 1850,〔Carl Zimmermann, ''Atlas von Palaestina und der Sinai-Halbinsel'', Berlin, 1850.〕 but was found uninhabited later in the 19th century. Guérin reported that "The ruins are those of a large Arab village, whose houses were built for the most part of basaltic stones. It replaced an ancient township, to which belongs an edifice now completely destroyed, of which there yet remain several basaltic columns and a mutilated capital."〔Guérin, 1880, p. (129 ), as cited in Conder and Kitchener, 1882, SWP II, p. (114 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Al-Bira, Baysan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
