Tuba/'Arab al-Hayb

Tuba (Arab al-Heib) was a Palestinian village built in an area known as Tuba, located along the banks of the Jordan River, near Lake Tiberias (Sea of Galilee). The village lay approximately 3 kilometers from the Jordan River and 10 kilometers from Lake Tiberias. Administratively, it belonged to the District of Safad, situated to its east, and at a distance of about 13.5 kilometers from the city, at an elevation of approximately 200 meters above sea level.

The total land area of the village was estimated at 15,992 dunums, of which 48 dunums were occupied by residential buildings and other village structures.

The exact date of the village’s occupation is not definitively known. However, based on its location and the fate of neighboring villages, it is likely that the village was occupied on May 4, 1948, in the context of Operation Yiftach.
