Sir, Qalqilya .
Municipality type D in Jenin, State of Palestine
Sir (Arabic : صير ) is a Palestinian town in the Jenin Governorate of Palestine , in the West Bank , located 18 kilometers south of Jenin . According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics , the town had a population of 769 inhabitants in mid-year 2006 and 857 by 2017.[1] [3]
Location
[ edit ]
Sir is located on the southern part of Marj Sanur , together with Meithalun .[4]
History
[ edit ] El nabi Theeb, Sir
SWP noted: "The ruin west of the village has the appearance of an ancient site. Foundations, cisterns cut in the rock, and heaps of stones among bushes."[5]
Pottery sherds from the Persian ,[6] Roman ,[6] Byzantine [6] [7]
Sir is identified with Kfar Zir (Hebrew : כפר ציר ), mentioned in the 6th-7th century Mosaic of Reḥob as a Jewish village in the region of Sebastia inhabited mostly by non-Jews and, therefore, agricultural produce obtained from the area could be taken by Jews without the normal restrictions imposed during the Sabbatical years , or the need for tithing .[8]
A Crusader estate named Casale Syrorum , whose rights were affirmed in the year 1165/1166 CE by Amalric of Jerusalem , was located here.[9] [10]
Ottoman era
[ edit ]
Sir, like the rest of Palestine , was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517, and in the census of 1596 it was a part of the nahiya Jabal Sami which was under the administration of the Nablus Sanjak . The village had a population of 31 households and 4 bachelors, all Muslim . The villagers paid a fixed tax-rate of 33,3% on agricultural products, such as wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, beehives and/or goats, in addition to occasional revenues, a tax for people of liwa Nablus, and a press for olive oil or grape syrup; a total of 7,832 akçe .[11]
In 1870, Victor Guérin noted it as a small village on a high hill. There were many cisterns and tombs cut out from the rock, which convinced Guérin that the place was ancient. The inhabitant, which numbered 150, had a mosque .[12]
In 1882, the PEF 's Survey of Western Palestine Sir as: "A small village on a knoll amid brushwood, with a large house on the west."[13]
British Mandate era
[ edit ]
In the 1922 census of Palestine , conducted by the British Mandate authorities , Sir had 194 Muslims inhabitants,[14] 1931 census to 233; 2 Christians and 231 Muslims, in a total of 42 houses.[15]
In the 1945 statistics the population of Sir was 290, all Muslims,[16] dunams of land, according to an official land and population survey.[17] [18] [19]
Jordanian era
[ edit ]
In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War , and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements , Sir came under Jordanian rule.
The Jordanian census of 1961 found 470 inhabitants.[20]
Post-1967
[ edit ]
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, Sir has been under Israeli occupation .
