Local Council I'billin (A'ebilin) is situated in the western
Lower Galilee, 15 km SE of Acre and 3
km NE of Shfar'am. Local Council
since 1960.
During my visit I spotted two variants of the unofficial
municipal flag on the city hall, green with black emblem and
orange with black emblem, both with Arabic inscription above and
Hebrew inscription below the emblem. The municipal emblem was
published in the official gazette (Rashumot, Yalkut
ha-Pirsumim), YP 4289, 9 March 1995.

I'billin is situated on the ancient Roamn road Acre-Tiberias
and appear in ancient Jewish sources as "Avelim". The
current village was probably established in the 18th Century. It
got 11,000 inh. 55% Muslems and the rest are Christian.
