Mhabib (or also Muhajbib, Muheibib or Neby Muheibîb) was a village in Southern Lebanon located in the Marjayoun District, in the Nabatieh Governorate, between the municipalities of Blida and Mays el Jabal.

History

The village is mentioned in an early census by the Palestine Exploration Fund in 1881, described as a small village populated by about seventy Muslims. Inside the village there was a small shrine dedicated to the Prophet Benjamin.

In 2024, the 7012th Battalion of the 3rd "Alexandroni" Brigade of the Israeli Ground Forces detonated the village, suspecting that it was a Hezbollah combat management center.[1]
