==History==
Yafa an-Naseriyye is an ancient town where rock-tombs and cisterns, cut into rock, have been found.〔Dauphin, 1998, p. 689〕
It has been identified with the ancient town of ''Japhia'',〔Palmer, 1881, p. (120 )〕 mentioned in the Book of Joshua as a border town of Zebulun (Joshua 19:12). Local medieval tradition holds that Zebedee and his two sons, James and John lived in Yafa. Josephus mentions the city Japha (Yafa) in his ''Life of Flavius Josephus'' (§ 37 and 45) and ''Wars of the Jews'' (Book 3, chapter 7, verse 31).〔Whiston, William (1737): (''Josephus' ''The War of the Jews'', translated by William Whiston'' )〕 Chambers, cut in stone, three storeys high, have been found in the village. This was probably an old granary.〔Conder and Kitchener, 1881, SWP I, pp. (353 )-354〕 Victor Guérin noted that when one of the chambers was cleared out in 1869, a vase was found containing about two hundred coins of Roman emperors. According to his observations, there were two of the subterranean systems, one of which is described above, both of which have suffered considerable damage since they were first visited by him in 1870. He found nothing of the ancient town, except five or six frag- ments of columns, broken stones, and about thirty cisterns. The city formerly included three adjacent hills.〔Guérin, 1880, pp. (103 )-105, as given by Conder and Kitchener, 1881, SWP I, p. (354 )〕
