Ghandouriyeh (Arabic: غندورية) is a municipality in Lebanon located in the Bint Jbeil District, south of Froun. It was formerly known as Aidib.
In the 1800s, the village was called Aidib, and E. H. Palmer wrote in 1881 that the name came from a local form connected with “much sand”.[1]
In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described Aidib as: "A small village, built of stone and mud, situated on the slope of a hill and surrounded by a few fig-trees and olives. It contains about ninety Metawileh, and is supplied with water from three rock-cut cisterns and a spring."[2]
During the 2006 Israeli offensive against Hizbollah Israeli Nahal commandos were airlifted into Ghanduriyah. A column of tanks attempting to reach them was ambushed in Wadi Salouqi. Eleven tanks were hit and seventeen Israeli soldiers killed, with fifty wounded.[3]
