Saliha ((アラビア語:صَلْحَة)), sometimes trasliterated Salha, meaning 'the good/healthy place',〔William Lancaster, Fidelity Lancaster, ''People, Land and Water in the Arab Middle East: Environments and Landscapes in the Bilâd ash-Shâm,'' Routledge 2013, p.98〕 was a Palestinian Arab village located 12 kilometres northwest of Safed. The Franco-British boundary agreement of 1920 placed Saliha within the French Mandate of Lebanon border, thus classifying it a part of Lebanese territory.〔http://www.britannica.com/bps/additionalcontent/18/23072855/Between-Palestine-and-Lebanon-Seven-Shii-Villages-as-a-Case-Study-of-Boundaries-Identities-and-Conflict〕〔http://www.therightroadtopeace.com/infocenter/Heb/FrancoBritishConv.html〕 It was one of the 24 villages transferred from the French mandate of Lebanon to British control in 1924 in accordance with the 1923 demarcation of the border between the Mandatory Palestine and the French Mandate for Syria and the Lebanon. It thus formed part of Palestine until 1948. Under the 1948 United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine, Saliha was to be included in the proposed Arab state, while the boundary between it and the proposed Jewish state was to run north of the built-up area of the village.〔Moore, 2004, p. 160.〕 During the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, Saliha was the site of a massacre carried out by Israeli forces shortly before the village was completely depopulated.〔Morris, 2004, p. (498 )〕 The built structures in the village, with the exception of an elementary school for boys, were also destroyed.〔 ==History== There were several old structures in the village, including rock-cut tombs, traces of mosaic floors, and oil presses. The nearby Khirbat al-Sanifa contained ancient relics, such as a circular pressing floor.〔Khalidi, 1992, p.492〕 A winepress was excavated in the area in 2001.〔Frankel, 2005, (Yir’on )〕 In the late 19th century, Saliha was a village of about 200 people who cultivated gardens in the surrounding area and built their homes out of basalt stones mortared with mud. They took their drinking water from several cisterns and a large pond.〔Conder and Kitchener: SWP I, 1881, (p.202 ) -(p.203 ), Quoted in Khalidi, 1992, p. 492〕 Its population was predominantly Shia Muslim and it had an elementary school for boys. In 1944/45 a total of 7,401 dunams of its land was allocated to cereals, while 422 dunams were irrigated or used for orchards.〔〔Government of Palestine, Department of Statistics. ''Village Statistics, April, 1945''. Quoted in Hadawi, 1970, p. (121 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saliha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
