Ed Dahi

Ed Dahi

Ed Dahi, also known as ad-Dahi ( _ar. الدحي) or simply Dahi ( _he. דחי) is an Arab village in north-eastern Israel. Located adjacent to Afula, it falls under the jurisdiction of Bustan al-Marj Regional Council. The village is situated at an altitude of 550 meters above sea level. In 2006 it had a population of 556.

The village was founded in the 18th century by the Zoabia family from Ar Ramtha in Jordan. It was named after Dahia Bin Khalifa al-Kalbei, who according to Islamic tradition, was a friend of the prophet Muhammad. Dahia, an ambassador of Muhammad, attempted to convert Byzantine emperor Heraclius to Islam. According to local tradition, Dahia was killed and buried in the site of the village.

During the 2006 Lebanon War a nature reserve for Irises near the village was hit by a Katyusha rocket fired by Hezbollah, damaging most of the trees in it.
