Shamaa, Lebanon

Lebanon

Shamaa, Lebanon connects to 3251 places across 11 topics through 27 Bunkabop connections, with religion and military history as the two dominant threads. Its strongest ties run to Egypt, Syria, and Iran through shared connections to medieval Islamic caliphates, from the Umayyad dynasty through the Abbasid and Fatimid eras. The 2006 Lebanon War shapes much of its military profile: Shamaa's citadel was partly destroyed during the conflict, and UNIFIL established its Sector West headquarters there afterward. Ottoman records from 1596 list it as a Muslim village under the Liwa of Safad.
