Tayibe, Et Tayibe or Et Taibeh is a village in the Marjeyoun District in south Lebanon.
According to E. H. Palmer, the name Tayibe means "The good, sweet, or wholesome" (about water).[1]
By the village is a Heavy Neolithic archaeological site of the Qaraoun culture.[2] [3]
The site was discovered by Louis Dubertret and materials studied by Jacques Cauvin. Heavy Neolithic materials recovered resembled those from Qaraoun.[3]
In 1875, Victor Guérin found here a village with 800 Metualis.[4] He further noted: "Its principal mosque, now in ruins, is built of superb blocks, apparently ancient. It contains in the interior several monolithic columns."[5]
In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) noted here: "There are several sarcophagi and cisterns in the village ; some caves near."[6] They further described it as: "A large well-built village, built of stone, containing about 600 Metawileh and 400 [Sunni] Moslems. The Caimacam has a good house here. There are some figs and olives round the village and arable land; water is supplied from a spring and two birkets."[7]
On August 5, during the 2006 Lebanon War, Israeli war-planes killed 3 civilians, aged 2 to 48 years of age. The IDF offered no explanations to the strike.[8]
