History
In the 1596
In 1875
The PEF's Survey of Western Palestine described the village: "A village built of stone, on the plain, surrounded by olives, figs, and arable land ; contains about 50 Moslems. Water from cisterns and spring near shore."[6] They also noted some rock-cut tombs by the village.[7]
On 13 April 1996, during Operation Grapes of Wrath, an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) helicopter attacked a vehicle in Mansouri, killing two women and four children.[8][9][10][11][12]
In early 2000, Mona Khalil - who had inherited her family's beachfront farm that stretches from the main road to the yet unspoiled beaches - moved to Mansouri from the Netherlands, where she had lived in exile for 25 years. Three months later, the IDF ended two decades of Israeli occupation in the nearby buffer zone and withdrew with its allies of the South Lebanon Army from there. In the same year, Khalil and her associate Habiba Fayed opened their Orange House Project as a bed-and-breakfast in order to finance their efforts to protect the nesting grounds of endangered sea turtles through ecotourism.[13]
