Baraashit
Baraashit (Arabic: برعشيت), also spelt Brashit,[1] is a municipality located in the Nabatiye Governorate, in the Bint Jbeil District of southern Lebanon, ca.Baraashit is identified with Barashta (Hebrew: ברשתה), a place referenced in the Baraita on the "Boundaries of the Land of Israel" as part of the delineation of the northwestern border of Jewish resettlement following the return from Babylonian exile.Scholarly analysis suggests that this text likely describes a later era, possibly the Hasmonean or Herodian periods, during the 2nd or 1st century BCE.[8] In 1596, the village Bra'sit was named in the Ottoman nahiya (subdistrict) of Tibnin under the Liwa Safad, with a population of 45 households and 7 bachelors, all Muslim.The incident is regarded as one of the triggers of Operation Grapes of Wrath later in the month which caused massive destruction across the south of Lebanon.[24] Baraashit enjoys a temperate climate which is characteristic of south Lebanon: Mild rainy winters and arid summers with a few excessively warm days.
