Kafr Sabt (Arabic: كفر سبت) was a Palestinian Arab village of nearly 500 situated on a sloping plain in the eastern Lower Galilee located 10.5 kilometers (6.5 mi) southwest of Tiberias. It was depopulated in 1948.
In the late 19th century, Kafr Sabt was settled by Algerian migrants under the auspices of the Ottoman Empire.[6]
