Zububa is a Palestinian village 14 km north-west of Jenin, 100 metres above sea level on 1,750 dunums bordered by Ta'anak and Rummana. Local tradition derives its name from the Canaanite 'zubub' (flies), which were said to be plentiful when the village was rich in water and produce; another account links it to Queen Zenobia of Palmyra. Ruins of an old quarter, rock-cut cisterns, a well and caves survive in the village, which overlooks Marj Ibn Amer. The population rose from 391 in 1922 to 1,585 in 1997, and parts of its land were confiscated in 1958, 1978 and 1999.
