History
At the time of the 1931 census, Nuqeib had 60 occupied houses and a population of 287 Muslims.[2]
After the 1948 Palestine war, according to the armistice agreements of 1949 Between Israel and Syria, it was determined that a string of villages, including Nuqeib, Al-Hamma, Al-Samra in District of Tiberias and Kirad al-Baqqara and Kirad al-Ghannama further north in District of Safad, would be included the demilitarized zone (DMZ) between Israel and Syria. The villagers and their property were formally protected by Article V of the Israeli-Syrian agreement of 20 July that year.[3] [4] However, Israel thought the villagers could pose a security threat, and Israeli settlers and settlement agencies coveted the land. Israel therefore wanted the Palestinian inhabitants, a total of 2,200 villagers, moved to Syria.[3]
The Kibbutz of Ein Gev was established near the former location of the village.
