Haddatha (حداتا) [1] is a village in Bint Jbeil District in Southern Lebanon.

History

In 1596, it was named as a village, ‘“Hadata” in the Ottoman nahiya (subdistrict) of Tibnin under the liwa' (district) of Safad, with a population of 52 households, all Muslim. The villagers paid a fixed tax-rate of 25% on agricultural products, such as wheat, barley, fruit trees, goats and beehives, in addition to "occasional revenues”; a total of 4,640 akçe.[2][3]

In 1838, Edward Robinson noted the village on his travels in the region.[4]

In 1875, Victor Guérin found the population to be exclusively Metualis.[5] In 1881, the Palestine Exploration Fund's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described Haddatha: "A village, built of stone, containing about 150 Metawileh, on hill-top; a few grapes, figs and olives, and arable cultivation; there is a spring near and cisterns in village; a birket for cattle."[6]

During the 2006 Lebanon War, Israel shelled a house with 6 civilians, killing all of them. They were aged from 50 to 80 years old.[7]
