History

Kfar Meroth archaeological site 1st century BCE to 12th century CE synagogue and oldest known beit midrash (study hall) in Israel[citation needed]

In 1596, Marus was part of the Ottoman Empire, a village in the nahiya (subdistrict) of Jira under the liwa' ("district") of Safad, with a population of 176. It paid taxes on a number of crops, including wheat, barley, and fruits as well as on goats.[2]

In the British mandate period the village was classified as a hamlet by the Palestine Index Gazetteer, and its entire population was Muslim.[3]

In 1944/45, the village had a population of 80, and it cultivated a total of 903 dunums with cereals, while 108 dunums were irrigated or used for orchards.[4]

1948, and after

The village was captured by Israel during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war during the Israeli military operation Operation Hiram.

According to the Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi, describing the village land in 1992: "The site contains some olive and fig trees as well as stones from ruined homes. The surrounding land is used for grazing."[5]
