![[Local Council of Fasuta (Israel)]](../images/i/il-lcfst.gif) image by Dov Gutterman | 2:3    Emblem adopted 16 January 1969 |

Local Council of Fassuta is situated in the Upper Galilee, 4
km NE of Ma'alot and 2 km south of
the Lebanese border. A Local Council from 1965 with 2500 inh.,
all Christians. Mistakenly overlooked in my tours, I had to rely
on second hand information about the unofficial flag being white
with emblem (colour not specified). The flag is thus probable
pending confirmation. The municipal emblem was published in the
official gazette (Rashumot), 'Publications Gazette'
section (Yalkut HaPirsumim), YP 1499, 16 January 1969.

It is costumery to identify Fassuta with the ancient Jewish Mafsheta
and the Crusaders era Fassuva or Fassula.
Another version is that it comes from a name of Hellenic
commander. The current village was established in the mid 18th
century. The inhabitants are all Maronite Christians.
