The [[Syria]]-[[Lebanon]]-[[Palestine (region)|Palestine]] boundary was a product of the post-World War I Anglo-French partition of [[Ottoman Empire|Ottoman]] Syria.<ref>{{cite book|author=David Fromkin|title=A peace to end all peace: the fall of the Ottoman Empire and the creation of the modern Middle East|year=1989|publisher=Macmillan|isbn=978-0-8050-8809-0}}</ref><ref name="MMPTPC">{{cite book|author=Margaret MacMillan|title=Peacemakers: the Paris Conference of 1919 and its attempt to end war|year=2001|publisher=John Murray|isbn=978-0-7195-6237-2|pages=392–420}}</ref> British forces had advanced to a position at [[Tel Hazor]] against Turkish troops in 1918 and wished to incorporate all the sources of the [[River Jordan|Jordan]] River within British controlled Palestine.

A report was made by the [[Minorities Minister of Israel|Ministry of Minority Affairs]] recommending that such an agreement be reached with the 4,700 or so Shi'ites in the region to promote friendly relations with southern Lebanon, to take advantage of the Shi'ites' poor relationship with the majority Sunnis, and to enhance the prospect of a future extension of the border.<ref name="Sindawi"/> This proposal was not accepted, despite the support of the Minister of Minority Affairs [[Bechor-Shalom Sheetrit]].<ref name="Sindawi"/> In August, more inhabitants of Hunin were forced to flee by the IDF.<ref name="BMPRPR">Morris, 2004, p. 249</ref> On 3 September 1948, the IDF raided the village blowing up 20 houses, killing a son of the mukhtar and 19 others and expelling the remaining villagers.<ref name="BMPRPR"/> |
