Yanun ((アラビア語:يانون, transliterated: ''Yânûn'')) is a Palestinian village in the Nablus Governorate in northern West Bank, located southeast of Nablus, and 3 miles north of Aqraba. It lies within Area C, under total Israeli control, of the West Bank. It is divided into two sites, upper and lower Yanun. Upper or northern Yanin is considered illegal by the Israeli authorities, and development is prohibited there.〔(''Settlers Force Desertion of Yanun Village,'' ), Settlement Report | Vol. 12 No. 6 | November–December 2002, Foundation for Middle East Peace〕 According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the village had a population of 102 in 2007.〔 This was a decrease from 2004 when the PCBS recorded that Yanun had 145 inhabitants.〔(Projected Mid -Year Population for Nablus Governorate by Locality 2004- 2006 ) Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics〕 The residents of the village have to travel to Beit Furik for primary health care.〔(West Bank Healthcare )〕 ==History== Pottery sherds from Iron Age II, Roman, Byzantine, and Crusader/Ayyubid era have been found here.〔Finkelstein and Lederman, 1997, p. 822〕 Yanun the village is distinct from Khirbet Yanun, nearby ruins to the north-east of the village. According to Edward Robinson, Yanun corresponds to the ''Janō(Ἰανὼ)'' of Eusebius and Jerome, a village in Acrabatene east of Neapolis, which, according to Robinson, these two Church fathers confused with the ancient frontier town of Yanoḥah(ינוחה) of Naphtali, which belonged to the Tribe of Ephraim.〔 Robinson, 1856, p. ( 297 )〕〔Saunders, 1881, p. ( 226 )〕Victor Guérin argued that both Eusebius and Jerome had confused the Yanoḥah of the tribe of Ephraim with the quite distinct, homophonous village belonging to the tribe of Naphtali (p.7) Modern researchers, following Guerin, have suggested that the Biblical Yanoḥah refers to Khirbet Yanun, as pottery sherds from lron Age I has been found there, and not at Yanun.〔Finkelstein and Lederman, 1997, p. 828〕 Several caves dot the area, which the local school headmaster claims were dwelt in by the Canaanites.〔 There is a shrine, formerly used by villagers as a mosque, believed to be of the prophet Nun on a hillock called Nabinun three hundred metres east of Lower Yanun.〔〔Canaan, 1927, p. ( 285 )〕 Byzantine pottery and other signs of ancient habitation including tombs carved into rock have been found at the village site.〔Dauphin, 1998, p. 849〕 There are ruins of a Frankish church.〔Ellenblum, 2003, p.
