At-Tayba (Arabic: خربة الطيبه) is a Palestinian village in the West Bank, located 18 km northwest of the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank, and 2 km east of Umm el-Fahm in Israel. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, the town had a population of 2,386 inhabitants in mid-year 2006.[2]
History
The current village was covering as of 2016 the slopes surrounding an ancient khirba (ruined village), Khirbet et-Taiybeh.[3] The ancient village only covered the southern slope of a hill and the ravine to its south.[3] Excavations indicate that it was mainly active in the Late Roman,[3] Byzantine,[3][4] and Medieval periods,[3] with lesser findings from the Persian, Early Muslim and Ottoman periods.[3]
Ottoman period
All of Palestine was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517.
Zertal writes that after no mention of the village in Medieval sources, a "Tayyiba" of six Muslim households appears in the Ottoman census of 1596, but he found no proof that this is the same settlement as the future Khirbet et-Taiybeh, known today as At-Tayba.[3] Hütteroth and Abdulfattah also mention the 1596 tax register with "Tayyiba" being part of the nahiya (subdistrict) of Sara under the liwa' (district) of Lajjun, with a population of 6 Muslim households.[5] The villagers paid a fixed tax rate of 25% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, summer crops, olive trees, beehives and/or goats, in addition to occasional revenues; a total of 3,500 akçe.[5]
In 1882 the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine found here "a modern ruined village with springs."[6]
Jordanian period
In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, At-Tayba came under Jordanian rule.
The Jordanian census of 1961 found 467 inhabitants in Taiyiba.[7]
Post-1967
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, At-Tayba has been under Israeli occupation.[citation needed]
