Kfar Tebnit or Kfartebnit (Arabic: كفرتبنيت) is a municipality located approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south southeast of Nabatieh, 37 kilometres (23 mi) southeast of Sidon in Lebanon.

Etymology

Kfar Tebnit takes its name from Tabnit, a Phoenician ruler in the area ca. 280 BC known as the "king of two Sidons". The sarcophagus of his son Eshmun-'azar was found to bear a long inscription aimed to prevent looting with assurances that the tomb contained no treasure.

Archaeology

A Heavy Neolithic archaeological site of the Qaraoun culture was discovered here in 1926 by E. Passemard  [fr]. Heavy Neolithic materials were found alongside one Trihedral Neolithic along with more regular Neolithic pieces. The tools were in sharp condition, made of fresh chert or grey-green flint and are stored in the National Museum of Beirut.

History

In 1875 Victor Guérin visited, and found here 130 Metualis.

The Ottoman mosque of the village was totally destroyed as a result of the Israeli attacks in October 2024 in southern Lebanon.

Demographics

In 2014 Muslims made up 99.86% of registered voters in Kfar Tebnit. 98.02% of the voters were Shiite Muslims.
