Incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517, it appeared in the census of 1596, located in the "Nahiya" of Acca of the "Liwa" of Safad. The population was 81 households and 15 bachelors, all Muslim. They paid a fixed tax-rate of 25% on agricultural products, including wheat, barley, cotton, goats, and beehives, water buffaloes, in addition to occasional revenues and market toll, a total of 20,500 Akçe. Half of the revenue went to a Waqf. English academic Henry Maundrell in 1697 found it a ruin, save for a "khan" (caravanserai) built and occupied by French merchants for their use, a mosque and a few poor cottages. The "khan" was named Khan al-Ilfranj after its French founders.
