 Later in the same century it was one of five villages in "nahiya" ("subdistrict") Sahil Akka (Acre coast), which were owned directly by the governor of Acre, and were exempt from the usual Ottoman taxes.A map by Pierre Jacotin from Napoleon's invasion of 1799 showed the place, named as "Gioules".In 1875, the French explorer Victor Guérin visited the village, which he called "Djoules".
