Al-Qaouzah

Al-Qaouzah (also spelled Al-Qawzah, Arabic: القوزح)[1] is a municipality located in the Caza of Bint Jbeil in the Nabatiye Governorate in Lebanon.

Al-Qaouzah occupies a hill with elevation ranging from 700 to 800 meters above sea level.

[4] In 1881, the PEF's Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described it: "A small village, containing about 100 Christians, with a small Christian chapel situated on a hill-top, with figs, olives, and arable land; a few cisterns for the water supply.”[5] The Saint Joseph church was built in 1927.

[6] In July 2006, Al-Qaouzah, like other villages that string Lebanon's southern border, such as Ain Ebel, Debel, Rmaish, and Yaroun, was caught in the 2006 Lebanon War of Hezbollah and the Israeli army.

[7] In 2019, a monkey owned by Sister Beatrice Mauger, who runs a peace project in the village, breached the border with Israel, and after a week on the loose and media frenzy, was returned to its owner by United Nations peacekeepers.
