Taanayel (Arabic: تعنايل), also transliterated Tanayal,[1] is a village located in the Zahlé District of the Beqaa Governorate in Lebanon.

History[]

In 1838, Eli Smith noted Tha'nayil as a Sunni Muslim village in the Beqaa Valley.[2]

In 1982, Taanayel suffered heavy damages from aerial bombardments.[3]

In October 1985, war planes of the Israeli Air Force (IAF) dropped bombs and fired rockets on a target near Tanayel on the Beirut-Damascus highway. According to UPI, the command of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) claimed that the place was used as a military base by Ahmed Jibril's pro-Syrian Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command.[1]
