Kfarfalous, also spelled Kfar Falous (Arabic: كفر فالوس) is a small village in the Jezzine District of the South Governorate of Lebanon, about 57 km south of Beirut.[1] Kfarfalous is known for being home to the unfinished now abandoned Kfarfalous University Complex.[2]

History[]

In 1838, Eli Smith noted Kefr Falus, as a village located in "Aklim et-Tuffah, adjacent to Seida".[3]

Following the Israeli retreat after the 1982 invasion, Kfar Falous was the village closest to Sidon in their self-declared security zone.[4]

On 21 June 1990 members of the SLA clashed with fighters from NLA in Kfar Falous. The NLA were the dominant militia in Sidon. Four of their men were killed.[5]
