[5] The village was incorporated into the Ottoman Empire in 1517; in 1596 it appeared under the name of al-Mansura in the tax registers as part of the nahiya (subdistrict) of Jira in the Sanjak (district) of Safed.

[5] In the 1931 census of Palestine, conducted by the British Mandate government, it was counted under the much larger Christian village of Fassuta.

[8] The houses of al-Mansura were spaciously separated from each other and the village had a church dedicated to Mari Yohanna (John the Baptist).

In mid-November, the Israeli Army had Palestinian Arab villages on the Lebanese border cleared, including al-Mansura.

The Maronite Church requested that the Israeli government allow al-Mansura's inhabitants to resettle the village but were refused.

[5] Several Jewish localities have been built on al-Mansura's lands, including Elkosh established in 1949, the military base Biranit in the early 1950s, Netu'a in 1966, Mattat in 1979 and Abirim in 1980.
