In 1881, the
PEF's
Survey of Western Palestine (SWP) described
Aidib as: "A small village, built of stone and mud, situated on the slope of a hill and surrounded by a few fig-trees and olives. It contains about ninety
Metawileh, and is supplied with water from three rock-cut
cisterns and a spring." During the 2006
Israeli offensive against
Hizbollah Israeli
Nahal commandos were airlifted into Al-Ghandouriyah. A column of tanks attempting to reach them was ambushed in Wadi Salouqi. Eleven tanks were hit and seventeen Israeli soldiers killed, with fifty wounded. ==Demographics==
