Rab El Thalathine (رب ثلاثين) is a village in the Marjeyoun District in southern Lebanon.
According to E. H. Palmer, the name Rubb Thelâthin comes from rubb meaning syrup; and thelâthin meaning thirty. [1]
In 1875, Victor Guérin found it to be a village inhabited by Metawileh. He further remarked that the mosque was constructed out of parts from an old church. [2]
In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) found here "several lintels and cisterns." [3]
They further described it: "A small village, built of stone, containing about 100 Metawileh, situated on a hill-top, surrounded by figs and arable land; water supply from cisterns and spring near, and a small birket. [4]
During the 2006 Lebanon War, on the 10th of August, Israeli missiles killed five women in the village, aged from 31 to 82 years of age. There were no indications that Hezbollah fighters were present at the time of the strikes. [5]
