Sir al-Gharbiyah (ar|سير الغربية) is a municipality just north of the Litani River, in the Nabatieh District in southern Lebanon.
In the 1596 tax records, it was named as a village, Sir, in the Ottoman nahiya (subdistrict) of Sagif under the liwa' (district) of Safad, with a population of 10 households, all Muslim. The villagers paid a fixed tax-rate of 25% on agricultural products, such as wheat, barley, olive trees, goats and beehives, in addition to "occasional revenues"; a total of 2,000 akçe.[1] [2]
On 23 February 1985, the Israeli Army shot dead seven young men from the village. Six of the dead were aged between fifteen and twenty. They were chosen after a round up of all the village men and machine gunned in the legs, two were bayoneted in the abdomen and one held under water until he drowned.[3] [4]
In 2014 Muslims made up 99.63% of registered voters in Sir al-Gharbiyah. 98.76% of the voters were Shiite Muslims.[5]
Hassan Maatouk, the Lebanon national football team all-time goalscorer and most-capped player, is native to Sir al-Gharbiyah.
