Hisah (Template:Langx), also spelled Hokr el Haïssa,[1] Haysa, Hayssa, El Haïssa or Hisa, is a northern Lebanese village in the Akkar Governorate, close to the Syrian border. It is mostly inhabited by Alawites[2][3] and Sunni Muslims.[4]
History
The history of the village goes back to the days of the Banu Hilal tribe, and it is named after the horse of Abu-Zayd al-Hilali.[5]
In the late 1620s or early 1630s, the Druze strongman of and Ottoman governor Fakhr al-Din II planted a large grove of mulberry trees in Hisah, as well as Tripoli, as part of his efforts to stimulate the burgeoning silk industry of Mount Lebanon.[6]
In 1838, Eli Smith noted the village, whose inhabitants were Alawites, located west of esh-Sheikh Mohammed.[7]
During the 2006 Lebanon War, a bridge in the village was bombed by Israeli planes, leaving up to 12 people dead.[8][9][10]
Demographics
In 2014, Muslims made up 99.23% of registered voters in Hisah. 50.61% of the voters were Alawites and 47.20% were Sunni Muslims.[11]
