Deir al-Asad

Israel / Hazafon / Shagor /

Deir al-Asad (Hebrew: דֵיר אֶל-אַסַד; Arabic: دير الأسد‎) is an Arab town and local council in the Galilee, near Karmiel.

Together with the adjacent town of Bi'ina it formed the site of the Crusader monastery town of St. George de la Beyne.

In 2003, the town was merged with Bi'ina and nearby Majd al-Krum to form the single local council of Shaghur, the name of the Ottoman district in which the towns had once been part. The municipal merger was dissolved in 2008.
