Mayfadoun (Arabic: ميفدون) is a village in Nabatieh District in southern Lebanon.
History
In the 1596 tax records, it was named as a village, Mayfadun, in the Ottoman nahiya (subdistrict) of Sagif under the liwa' (district) of Safad, with a population of 11 households, all Muslim. The villagers paid a fixed tax-rate of 25 % on agricultural products, such as wheat, barley and olive trees; a total of 5,269 akçe.[1][2]
On 6 August 2024, four people, all of them Hezbollah fighters,[3] were killed in an Israeli airstrike in the village.[4]
