Overview

Kafr Yasif is a Palestinian town in the Western Galilee, known for its educational tradition and cultural significance.

The village came under Israeli control in 1948 and was subjected to military rule until 1966. Unlike many villages, Kafr Yasif was not depopulated, but it lost agricultural land to confiscation.

Kafr Yasif is known for high educational achievement and was home to one of the first Arab high schools in the Galilee.
