[5] Kafr Thulth is bordered by Azzun to the south, Sanniriya and Biddya villages to the east and Deir Istiya to the west.

In 1948, parts of Kharab and Aizab, such as, Salman, al-Moudwer, al-Sheikh Ahmad, al-Ashqar, Ras Tirah, al-Dabha, Kirash Kherba and Ras Atiya — villages or land areas that originally belonged to Kafr Thulth were separated from the town by the Green Line, which forms the border between Israel and the West Bank.

They paid a fixed tax rate of 33.3%, on wheat, barley, summer crops, occasional revenues, goats and/or beehives; a total of 1,100 akçe.

[6] In 1838, Kafr Thulth was included in a village list drawn up by Edward Robinson, part of Jurat Merda, south of Nablus, named as Kefr Telet.

Legend holds that one person from Jenin, having married into the local 'Arar family, dreamt of al-Maghazin who directed him to establish a shrine at this location.

Alternatively, another tradition suggest the original site was located on a hill outside the village, intended as a lookout to signal the approach of Crusader forces.

The site, named for the Arabic term for raiding force, served as a resting place for Muslim warriors.
