Salhab ((アラビア語:سلحب), also known as Khirbet Salhab) is a small Palestinian village in the Tubas Governorate in the northeastern West Bank, located four kilometers north of Tubas. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) census, it had a population of 45 living in five households in 2007.〔(2007 PCBS Census ). Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics. p.106.〕 Its current mayor is Fawze Sawafta.〔(Salhab Profile ). Jerusalem Media and Communications Center (JMCC). 2007-02-09.〕 ==History== Salhab has been identified with the Biblical town of Bezeq where Saul gathered his army to relieve Jabesh-Gilead, mentioned in the Book of Samuel.〔Zertal, 2007, p. ( 152 )〕 Archaeological evidence throughout the village and its vicinity, in the form of walls and foundations of ancient buildings, suggest a previous Roman or Byzantine-era presence in Salhab.〔Zertal, 2007, p. (151 )〕 Ceramic objects from the Byzantine periods have been found.〔Dauphin, 1998, p. 791〕 In 1596, it appeared in Ottoman tax registers as "Salhab", a village in the ''nahiya'' of Jabal Sami in the ''liwa'' of Nablus. It had a population of eight households and two bachelors, all Muslim. The villagers paid taxes on wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, goats and beehives.〔Hütteroth and Abdulfattah, 1977, p. 129.〕 In his 1870 visit, French explorer Victor Guérin described Salhab as "A little town, now destroyed, on a hill whose rocky sides are pierced by numerous cisterns. The place which it occupied is now covered with confused materials, the remains of demolished dwellings, and disposed for the most part in circular heaps round silos or subterranean magazines cut in the rock."〔Conder and Kitchener, 1882, p. (240 ), translating Guérin, 1875, Samaria I, p. ( 355 )〕〔Zertal, 2007, p. ( 783 )〕 According to the Applied Research Institute-Jerusalem (ARIJ), the modern settlement was re-established on the ancient ''khirba'' ("ruin") in 1880 by a family from Nablus. After the death of the family's head, Salhab's lands were sold to immigrants coming from present-day Lebanon and Iraq.〔(Salhab Village Profile ). Applied Research Institute-Jerusalem (ARIJ). February 2006.〕 Nonetheless, no population for the village was recorded in the 1931 British census of Palestine.〔 Following the 1993 Oslo Accords between the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Israel, Salhab was placed in "Area A," giving Palestinians control over its civil and security matters. The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) established a three-member local development committee to administer the village's affairs in 1999. The principal services provided by the committee are the distribution of water and humanitarian aid. Today, Salhab's residents are entirely dependent on agriculture as a source of income. The village lacks educational institutions, health centers, retail shops and food markets and residents have to travel to 'Aqqaba and Tubas for access to such services.〔 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「Salhab」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
