History
Ibn Jubayr (1145–1217 CE) noted:
the two graves of Seth and Noah [..] are in the Bika', and two days' journey from Damascus. One who measured the tomb of Sheeth (Seth), reported to us that it was 40 fathoms (ba') long, and the tomb of Nuh (Noah) was 30. The tomb of Noah's son lies side-by-side with that of Noah. There is a building over the tombs, and an endowment for charitable purposes.
— Ibn Jubayr
In 1838, Eli Smith noted En-Neby Sheeth as a "Metawileh" village in the district of Baalbek.
On 22 December 1998 the Israeli Air Force bombed a farm house in al-Nabi Shayth killing a woman and six children. The target had been an antenna belonging to Hizbollah's Voice of the Oppressed radio station. Hizbollah responded by firing rockets into Northern Israel, injuring sixteen people. Two weeks later the IAF again tried to destroy the radio mast, injuring seven villagers. On April 14, 2024, the IDF carried out an airstrike on the settlement, claiming that they were targeting a Hezbollah run weapons manufacturing site.
