Yanun (Arabic: يانون, romanized: Yânûn) is a Palestinian village in the Nablus Governorate of the State of Palestine, in the northern West Bank, located 12 kilometers (7.5 mi) southeast of Nablus, and 3 miles north of Aqraba. It lies within Area C, under total Israeli control, of the West Bank. It is divided into two sites, upper and lower Yanun. Upper or northern Yanin is considered illegal by the Israeli authorities, and development is prohibited there. After being destroyed post-16th century, the village was reestablished in 1878 by Muslim Bosniak families who received lands from the Ottoman government. One Bosniak family still owns the land, although it's now inhabited by their tenants, who also live in the nearby hamlet of Ein Yanun. The inhabitants have their origins in the nearby villages of Awarta and Beit Furik. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS), the village had a population of 92 in 2017. This was a decrease from 2004 when the PCBS recorded that Yanun had 145 inhabitants. The residents of the village have to travel to Beit Furik for primary health care.
