History
In 1838, Eli Smith noted Kefr Falus, as a village located in "Aklim et-Tuffah, adjacent to Seida".[3]
Following the Israeli retreat after the 1982 invasion, Kfar Falous was the village closest to Sidon in their self-declared security zone.[4]
On 21 June 1990 members of the SLA clashed with fighters from NLA in Kfar Falous. The NLA were the dominant militia in Sidon. Four of their men were killed.[5]
