Merely edited some wording for neutrality’s sake. Format also altered simply because it looks better that way; sorry for being OCD but I like a neat page. Furthermore I didn’t feel sticking in another account of the place and leaving it as it was flowed well. There were two different accounts of Bayt ‘Itab contradicting each other on the same page but not linked, it just felt like two different pages. So the second one added had to be made to fit in as a contrasting history. - TS
To include later?
But there is no mention of any of this in Israeli guidebooks, save for the routine remark, "destroyed in the War for Independence." By contrast, the guidebook makes sure to inform its readers that "it is almost certain that its Arab name, Beit ´Atab, is a corruption of its Latin name, Atap, meaning a small fortress," and at the site there are "remains of ancient structures, apparently from a Crusader farm."[1]
I took it out for now. I think its interesting information but don't know how to integrate it right now. Tiamuttalk 20:26, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
