Tarbikha lies beside the Lebanese border, at a distance of about 15 km east of Ras Al-Naqura and 27 km northeast of Akka.
But in mid-November 1948, Israel desired Tarbikha and nearby Lebanese villages for itself, so the Israeli Army raided them, expelled their population to Lebanon and annexed them to the Jewish Sate.
Tarbikha was a rich agricultural village full of orchards and gardens, but it was particularly famous for its tobacco which had a great reputation throughout the Arab Middle East.
