The village was occupied by
Israeli troops during a punitive mission, in the wake of
PLO attacks inside Israel, on the 26 of February 1972, and was devastated by a major Israeli attack conducted in January 1975. It was bombed and rocketed by Israeli warcraft further on 15 June, and shelled again by Israeli artillery on 31 August, of that year. The mosque in the village was destroyed by Israeli artillery in 1972 but partially rebuilt. It was struck by Israeli air raids and artillery fire in April 2002 after
Hezbollah fired rockets at Israeli army positions in the
occupied Shebaa Farms. In retaliation for a Hezbollah retaliatory strike against an Israeli patrol on the 28 January 2015, the village was shelled by IDF artillery fire, together with the two other border villages of Majidiyeh, Abbasiyeh. Kfar Shouba is the second largest village in southern Lebanon, which also contains the largest number of young graduates in the Caza of Hasbaya. The Lebanese Army, as well as
Hezbollah, say that Israel is still
occupying the general area in which the village is located, known as the Kfarshouba Hills. It stands in mountainous terrain. According to a video posted by the
Alma Research and Education Center rockets were fired from a high school in the village during the
Gaza war in October 2023. ==Landmarks==
