(Arabic: تليل) was a Palestinian Arab village in the District of
Safad located 14.5 kilometers (9.0 mi) northeast of Safad. It
was situated on small, sandy hill on the southwestern shore of
Lake Hula, near the merging of two wadis. Together with the
nearby village of al-Husayniyya, it had a population of 340 in
1945. Tulayl was depopulated during the 1948 Palestine War.
Scholars identify the mound upon which Tulayl was built with the
Roman town of "Thella". Its hilltop location protected it from
floods. Under the Ottoman Empire, in 1596, Tulayl was a part of
the nahiya ("subdistrict") of Jira, under the administration of
the Liwa (sanjak) of Safad, with a population of 215. It paid
taxes on wheat, barley, bees, and water buffalo.  Its houses,
closely packed together, were constructed from mud and cane.
During the British Mandate period, it expanded westward and by
the 1940s approach
